UPTON COUNTRY PARK

PLANT & GARDEN FAIR 2012

Sunday 3^rd & Monday 4^th June 2012 10 am to 4:30 pm

Work started in January 2012 on the transformation of the walled garden at Upton Country Park. This long-awaited project has been started thanks to a generous donation from the Friends of Upton Country Park.

The Walled Garden will be transformed into a space that can be used all year round with new pathways, benches and Purbeck stone entrances. Improved access from the tearooms to the garden via new doors and a patio area will ensure visitors can relax in the garden with their refreshments while overlooking new and existing floral beds. Another new development will be an automated water feature that can be shut down as necessary to create a dry, level area for marquees and events. The existing turreted rooms at the bottom of the gardens will be changed from storage to seating areas and refurbished throughout.

The Borough of Poole is unable to lay the new turf in the Walled Garden due to the wet weather. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to drive the vehicles over the grass in the Walled Garden over the Bank Holiday weekend.

For this year only, we are moving the Plant & Garden Fair to the grass area by the Plant Centre.
