Plant growers and retailers from across West Wales joined volunteers and staff at Parc yr Esgob (Bishop’s Park), Abergwili, to deliver a highly successful Spring Plant Fair on Saturday 9 May.
The event featured 12 stalls offering a wide range of horticultural and botanical products, including vegetable seedlings, flowering plants, dried flowers, and reclaimed garden fixtures and fittings. Visitors also enjoyed a live performance from the Rock Choir, who entertained the crowd with uplifting and well‑known rock songs, alongside demonstrations from Carmarthen Spinners, Weavers and Dyers.
Head Gardener Blue Barnes‑Thomas welcomed the success of this fundraising event: “Parc yr Esgob is managed by a charitable trust, and it costs £300 a day to maintain. These funds are much needed for the upkeep of the park, to keep it safe and beautiful for community and visitors, and to manage the habitats that support a wide range of wildlife.”
Organisers extended their thanks to all the volunteers, performers, and stallholders who helped make the day such a great success.
