HELLENS Garden Festival will take place in June and preparations are underway for a wonderful two day celebration at Hellens, Much Marcle, Ledbury. 
If you love gardening this festival is right up your street with a host of interesting events and displays taking place in the glorious Herefordshire countryside.
The theme for this year’s festival is ‘Growing the Future, the revolution starts here’ and the event will showcase ways in which we can take action for the environment, inspiring creativity and change.
The gardens and meadows of Hellens Manor, set in glorious Herefordshire countryside, will be filled with practical and creative demonstrations, exquisite flowers and plants, skilled artists and craftspeople.
There will also be delicious local food and drink, live music, sculpture and much more.
It is a lovely day out for all the family and especially for those of us who love to tinker about in our gardens.
There are a host of gardening experts on hand to provide information on everything from allotment keeping to anew feature this year - Pollinator’s Corner which celebrates all the brilliant pollinators out there.
The Festival programme includes informative and engaging talks, including ‘HGF Gardeners’ Question Time’ and a ‘Grow your Own’ forum with BBC allotment guru Terry Walton. 
This year showcases a new ‘pollinators corner’, with insect inspired workshops and a host of nature play activities and actions for wildlife.
All profits from the event are donated to St Michaels Hospice and Back to the Wild CIC. 
‘Growing the Future - The Revolution Starts Here’ takes place on Sat  June 11 and Sun June 12
