Chelsea Award winner Hardy’s Cottage Garden Plants will be showcasing a new variety of Japanese anemone; Lady Emily and Lady Susan; a dusty pink semi double and a two tone pink single, while another Chelsea award winner HW Hyde will be exhibiting a wide selection of pot-grown lilies that were planted in early July and have been grown outside. Varieties include; Lilium leichtlini, Scheherazade and Conca D’or. The National Association of Flower Arranging Societies (NAFAS) will provide a spectacular display of colour and imagination under the theme ‘Floral Fantasy’ in the Floral Art Marquee, and watch out for the Surrey Sculpture Society Trail at Wisley until 30 September.
