Barton Grange Garden Centre in Preston is celebrating one of spring’s earliest flowers with a dedicated Primrose Festival - A dazzling array of primrose varieties will be on display in the award-winning centre, as well as a choice of flower-filled containers and baskets.The sight of primroses in the garden in spring makes the spirits soar after a long cold winter. Thanks to their distinctive fragrance and range of vibrant colours they are a welcome addition to any green space. They are also a good source of nectar for butterflies, bees and moths and look great in borders, containers or hanging baskets.
The Primrose Festival is all about showcasing the charm and versatility of these beloved spring bloomers. Known for their cheerful colours and ability to brighten even the dullest corners, primroses and primulas are a real star of the plant world.We will also be visiting Garstang, a market town steeped in history perfect for relaxed shopping trips, lazy picnics, teashop treats and traditional pub lunches.
The ruins of Greenhalgh Castle, (which can be seen over the River Wyre) and the historic narrow alleyways, provide an interesting and unexpected diversion to many hidden shops, restaurants and cafes.
