Now that The Three Counties Show is over, (it was last weekend), we can look forward to the Malvern Autumn Show in September. It will provide a wonderful mix as you would expect, of vegetables, flowers and fruits to exemplify a bountiful harvest, but will also have hundreds of stands devoted to shopping, forgotten rural crafts and animals from around the world. A highlight is sure to be The Good Life Pavilion, which will concentrate on just that - attaining the good life through running smallholdings, edible gardens, and cookery, including demonstrations and talks. Click on the vegetable pictures to take you to the website. Click on the asters to take you to the website of Old Court Nurseries and Picton Gardens, very close to Malvern and home to the Plant Heritage National Collection of Autumn Flowering Asters and very well worth a visit or several.
