Parham’s head gardener Tom Brown also took part in a Gardeners Question Time on both days. Covering topics such as landscape design, floristry and growing cut flowers, the talks were very well-attended and greatly enjoyed by visitors.

Visitors also had the chance to enjoy the house and beautiful flower arrangements, and learn about the innovative planting trials in Parham’s Walled Garden. Among the stalls was a range of freshly prepared and locally sourced food and drink.

Parham will now turn its attention to its Harvest Fair on September 23-24, when it will celebrate the traditional rituals of the harvest season with locally grown produce and homeware stalls.
