FLOWERS and foliage will fill Andover’s High Street as the popular gardening fair makes a return.

The High Street will be filled with an array of colours during the event which returns on Monday, May 1 from 10am to 3pm.

There will be a full day of outdoor activities  and hand-picked local exhibitors will offer a wide selection of plants, gardening ornaments, accessories and gifts for visitors to buy. The knowledgeable stallholders will be happy to chat about their plants and offer their expertise and guidance to green-fingered gardeners as well as those ready to sow seeds for the very first time.

Children can look forward to lots of free activities including storytelling, face painting, seed planting and outdoor games.

There will be live music to enjoy throughout the day and street food and drink stalls will be available to keep everyone feeling refreshed.

The event will be conveniently located in front of the Guildhall, where many of the shops on the High Street and inside the Chantry Centre will be open.

The event is a short walk away from Andover bus station and parking in Andover is also free on bank holidays, making this a great opportunity to pop into town to make the most of the event and support local businesses and organisations.
