We are having a rest so there will no Fair in 2012. However our plans for 2013 are well advanced.
The next Collectors’ Plant Fair will be held on 13 & 14 April, 2013 at the historic Hawkesbury Race Club, Clarendon, NSW. Clarendon is between Richmond and Windsor.
After holding this highly regarded event continuously for 7 years at Bilpin, Peta, Beth and Peter believe it’s time to refresh. Our objective is to make the Fair more attractive to both growers and buyers. To do this we have decided to move the Fair closer to Sydney while maintaining a country atmosphere.
Before taking a break in 2012 our new venue has been secured and we are very excited about the change because the Hawkesbury Race Club:
• Is a beautifully maintained venue. It has been in continuous use since 1871. We like its elegant country feel, yet it’s:
o closer to Sydney and the M7 motorway.
o and on the City to Richmond rail line with its own station at Clarendon.
• Has excellent level parking for growers and visitors.
• Has extensive lawns, shade trees and garden with views to the mountains.
• Is surrounded by a wide choice of accommodation including several motels.
• Is close to many restaurants and cafes in Clarendon, Richmond and Windsor.
• Has virtually level sealed exhibition space.
• 75% of the exhibition space is covered.
• Has excellent facilities for our popular Speaker Programme.
• Its ease of access and proximity to Sydney will be attractive to plant lovers.
Our growers are enthusiastically supporting our 2013 plans
The Collectors' PLant Fair showcases growers of special plants - plants that are not easy to come by in regular retail outlets – plants that are distinctive, unusual and collectable.
Growers come from Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and all over NSW. The Fair is a must for keen gardeners whether they have an established garden, or are creating a new garden. It offers a huge range of plants suitable for coastal gardens or inland gardens – for the tropical garden, the cottage garden, country estate or balcony. It offers the opportunity to find that hard-to-get- plant to add to your collection.
