With such a large selection of Traders/Sellers booked in now, all it needs is for all you buyers to turn up, with your empty trays [ and pockets full of cash ] and the day should be a marvellous success !!

Hi again,

Just to update you on another addition to the sellers.

John White [ ex Bradley Batch nursery ] is downsizing his personal collection and has kindly agreed to have a couple of stands at the Mart, so that he can offer these for sale to you all. These plants are outstanding, so please make the extra effort to attend to see what he has on offer.

It does unfortunately mean that you might have to put a couple of more notes in your wallet or purse to take advantage of his offerings !

See you all on the day,

Tony.
