TOBY Buckland’s Garden Festival is to return to Bowood House and Gardens in Calne next year after a successful first outing in June.
The 2016 show, created by the TV presenter and horticulturalist, will be at Bowood on June 4 and 5 between 10am and 5pm.
The green lawns of Bowood will once again be transformed into a gardener’s paradise with guest speakers, specialist growers, handpicked exhibitors and practical workshops.
Mr Buckland said: “We have done great things with these shows in a very short period of time enabling more specialist nurseries to meet a wider public.
“Feedback from visitors tells us that there's a huge gap in the market for a new type of gardening event.
“They appreciate the beautiful locations and the readily shared specialist knowledge from both nurseries and guest speakers.”
More than 120 exhibitors, including many local nurseries, had stalls at the 2015 festival selling a range of plants and gardening items to keep even the most dedicated gardener occupied.
