Autumn Plant & Gardening Fair

Packed with inspiration and ideas for the late summer planting we will be hosting Forde Abbey’s Plant and Gardening Fair on Saturday 5th September. We have some fantastic specialist nurseries from the Southwest selling plants and excellent craftsmen with brilliant and beautiful gardening sundries. Many of our plant stalls are back by popular demand, but there will also be some new ones this year. The growers are happy to chat about their plants and are happy to offer their expertise and share their enthusiasm, so do come along to see what you can add to your own garden for a splash of colour this spring – or just admire the beautiful plants on show! The Plant Fair takes place at the beginning of our popular Dahlia display, a lovely time to see the garden transforming into its autumn colours and bursting herbaceous borders. The Coffee Shop will be open throughout the day serving hot drinks, light bites and homemade cakes. Our award winning Gift Shop with some fantastic souvenirs will also be open, Eeles Pottery will be selling and showcasing some beautiful pottery too. Our in house Plant Nursery is also open from 10.00am – 3.00pm and it is fully stocked with Dahlias and a diverse range of herbaceous perennials, many rare and unusual. All the plants in our nursery are grown at the Abbey. The gardens will remain open until 5:00 PM (last entry to the fair is 3:00 PM) A reduced entry fee of £7.50 to the Plant & Gardening Fair, including admission to Forde Abbey’s 30 acre gardens.

Biofluorescent Night Walks

Join us for a journey through a hidden world of glowing life that surrounds us all, yet very few of us have ever seen. Welcome to the world of biofluorescence, one of nature’s best-kept secrets. Biofluorescence is the absorption of light at one wavelength followed by its reemission at a different wavelength. Shine the right type of UV light on the world, and it glows back at you in a vibrant display of colour. With UV torches provided, we will venture into the darkness to witness a stunning display of biofluorescent organisms in their natural habitat. Biofluorescence turns the world of colour upside down; green leaves suddenly become a vivid red, spiders bright blue, lichen an intense orange and another, glowing side of the natural world is revealed. Over the past few years, our journey exploring biofluorescence has spanned five continents and included conversations with leading researchers, helping us piece together the broader story of this glowing natural world. A story that we can’t wait to share with you. Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the enchanting world of biofluorescence and uncover the wonders that await in the darkness. Join us for an unforgettable experience that will open your eyes to the breathtaking beauty of nature’s hidden secrets. Book your spot now and get ready for an awe-inspiring adventure! This guided walk is suitable for anyone aged 8 years and above, all children must be accompanied by an adult.
