I'm returning to the city of my birth, the elegant spa city of Bath, for this beautifully situated plant fair on Sunday, 19th May 2024.
Grade I listed Claverton Manor is home to the American Museum, surrounded by expansive gardens designed by my heroes Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden in the 'New American Garden' style. There is a replica of Mount Vernon, George Washington’s famous house, an arboretum, amphitheatre, wilderness trail and sweeping parkland for further exploration. Located in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’ll be treated to spectacular views across the Limpley Stoke valley.
