The first article in the series is a spotlight on our Society and can be found entitled 'About Us'.
Each year we host a number of plants fairs where you will have the opportunity to meet some or all of our members. The dates and venues for the fairs can be found on the Plant Fairs page and during the active spring and summer season you will find us advertised with local radio and newspapers. The nurseries open to the public are mentioned on the Members page.
When you come to a plant fair, nearby you can also visit the beautiful gardens of Aberglasney at Llangathen and the National Botanical Garden of Wales at Middleton Hall, Llanarthne. There is an opportunity also during the year to combine a visit to the gardens and attend a plant fair at the same time, as early in the season we have a Spring Fair within Aberglasney Gardens and similarly, we usually link up with a summer event at the National Botanical Garden.
