This is a new departure for us, to help get the plant-buying season proper off to a flying - and we hope enjoyable - start but avoiding the possibility of it all being spoiled by inclement weather.
Up to nine nvited nurseries will be on hand with a good selection of irresistable gems for the new season. Our trusty HPS plant sales stall will also be there stocked with plants brought by Kent Group members.
Directions Lenham Community Centre, is a large, modern block situated behind the new Medical Centre on the eastern edge of Lenham village on the Old Ashford Road.
Lenham is just off the A20 about nine miles east of Maidstone.
Approaching on the A20 from the east, turn left towards Lenham and Groom Way leading to the Community Centre is the first turning on the right.
Approaching on the A20 from the west, take the second turning on the right signposted Lenham, pass through the village square and past the church. Groom Way is second on the left.
For visitors wishing to use public transport, Lenham is on the main railway line from Victoria to Ashford and has an hourly service on Sundays. The station is on the southern edge of the village a short walk from the Community Centre. From Station Road, turn left into High Street and follow this to the village square, bear right past the church and Groom Road is the second turning on the left.
