The Friends are asking their members and friends to bring plants, seeds, seasonal fruit, jams, chutneys and other baked goods for sale and chef, Martyn Cutler, will be donating some of his popular cakes. In addition, all the plants from the Ventnor Botanic Garden sales area will be offered and there will be some great bargains!

There will also be a chance to talk to members of the Friends’ Society and learn about the great work they do supporting the Garden.
Rosemary Stewart, Secretary of the Friends’ Society, commented, ‘We hope this sale will raise vital funds to aid the Friends’ Society in all that they do, from developing Ventnor Botanic Garden further to bringing school groups to benefit from the facilities and learn about nature and their environment. Visitors can learn more about the Volunteering roles and other opportunities available, supported by the Friends’ Society.’
