Tower and Town, May 2026 (view the full edition)Annual Plant Sale: Saturday 16 May 9.30am - 12.00pm in the Town HallProbably the best things about Marlborough Gardening Association's sale are that plants are grown by our members so are likely to thrive in the local soil and are very reasonably priced. There will be a great variety of plants, mostly perennials, which are a bargain as once established should come back year after year. There will be house plants, a few shrubs, a good range of young vegetable and fruit plants and herbs too. Some perennials will not flower until later in the summer, but do not be put off, as flower colour, height, aspect and spread should be on the label and our members are very happy to advise you. If you are looking for bedding plants and pelargoniums (ideal for pots and borders), these will be supplied by Andy's Plants (who has the stall on the Saturday market). So set your alarm and arrive early. Entrance is free, but please bring bags to take your plants home and do not forget this is a cash only sale. If you are excited by what you see, then why not join the Association. We meet on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm in Marlborough Town Hall. We are a friendly crowd and have speakers, trips plus a weekend away, making annual membership of £15 a bargain. We look forward to seeing you on 16th May.  Miranda Gilmour |
