Come and see me this summer
We’ve just had a wonderful outing with Horatio’s Garden to a beautiful Open Garden afternoon at Forbes Field.
The gardens were looking simply stunning and I met so many wonderful people. There is nothing better than spending the day surrounded by gorgeous planting, talking to garden enthusiasts on an English summer day.
Hello to all the lovely people I met last Friday.

If you’d like to come and say hello this summer I’ll be bringing Katy Botanicals wares to Winchester on Friday 26th June as part of the 2026 Winchester Garden Festival.
This is the second year of the wonderful and ever growing Winchester Garden Festival, a glorious celebration of the English garden that stretches across and beyond Winchester and offers garden parties, exhibitions, jazz on the lawn, maypole dancing and the chance to enjoy a huge variety of artistic skills. It’s well worth downloading the full programme to appreciate the range of beautiful activities available, many for free.
On Friday 26th June we’ll be enjoying the beauty of Church House Gardens on Trinity Hill, GU34 5LT. I’ll have a stand with tablecloths, tea towels, gorgeous bags and homewares, with lots of items 20% off, to celebrate summer.
