We will be having four open weekends next year so don't forget to put them in your diaries! It will be a fantastic opportunity to see and buy the plants at different stages in the year and meet other keen carnivorous plant growers at Stroudwood nursery the UK's largest carnivorous plant nursery.
Our first open weekend will be on the 20-21 April. This year we will be having potting demonstrations in the morning and afternoon as this is the perfect time of year to do this see many of the plants in full flower and stock up on compost! We will have a huge range of plants for sale and sundry items.
Our open weekend on the 11-12 May will be a fantastic chance to preview our Chelsea display plants which fingers crossed will be at their absolute best and are truly a sight to behold. This is the first time we have had a open weekend this time of year. Our Sarracenia will be a real focal point as we have some of the largest specimen sized plants in Europe which will be looking pristine and ready for the RHS Chelsea flower show. We will have a huge range of plants for sale and sundry items.
The 20-21 July open weekend will show the full colour of all the plants. The Sarracenia flavas and most of the hybrids will have coloured up nicely and the Nepenthes are looking great at this time of the year too. We will have a huge range of plants for sale and sundry items.
And finally at the 5-6 October open weekend you will be able to see the leucophllya and any of the hybrids with this species at their absolute best. This is also a great time of year to compare your plants with ours as winter dormancy approaches its reassuring to see our plants will be dying back as well.
We will be open from 10am till 4pm and there will be refreshment provided at all open weekends.

Spring Open Weekend
We are holding a Spring open weekend!
This will be quite different from our usual open weekend because the plants will be looking completely different. There will be various varieties and you will be able to see the stunning flowers as the new growth comes through. We would love for you to come, especially keen Sarracenia collectors, as the greenhouse will look very different. Also a chance to see the RHS outdoor Sarracenia trial in the Spring.
The Spring open weekend is on the 28-29th April 10.00 till 5.00

A roundup of this year
The growing season this year started very early for us in Hampshire, with some exceptionally warm weather towards the end of April and beginning of May which was fantastic for Malvern and Chelsea flower show. But the plats started to go over much earlier than usual and it was a real struggle to select plants foe the flower shows later in the season especially Malvern Autumn! We have had a very busy year with all the shows winning best in show at Malvern spring! As well as gold at Chelsea, Hampton court, Tatton, Malvern autumn and platinum at BBC gardeners world. With such great achievements were hoping for the same or even better results at next years shows.
Our open weekend was a great success and we were able to meet old and new faces! We hope to add more open weekends next year so you will be able to see the plants growing during spring and early Summer
The greenhouse is being extended at the moment ready for next year to provide a larger growing area mainly for new sarracenia forms and hybrids, we are also hoping to extend the Nepenthes growing area , should be finished in a couple of weeks weather depending.
