Back at one of our faves on Saturday, it’s just down the road from me in the gorgeous north shropshire town of Wem! I’ve been cleaning tools, making repairs and stocking up on general garden related goodies!

🚨🌸☀️🌿🚨Only two days to go...Top Tips for enjoying Saturday's Millennium Green Wem Plant and Craft Fair:

- 🛍️Bring something to carry your new plants or products in (bags for life, crates or cardboard veg boxes are great!)
- ⏰Arrive early to get the plants you are looking for: we open for trading at 9am.
- 🚘Parking: the best option is to park on the town car park near the Co-Op for a small charge. It is a short walk to the Green via the high street.
- 🪙Payments: many stall holders take card payments or cash...some only take cash, so please bring along both!
- 🏆 Raffle: £1 a ticket.. Amazing prizes (like, seriously amazing prizes!)
- 🏷️Stalls galore: we have a record amount of stalls this year which is incredible! Please take time to venture beyond the chapel area onto the far lawn where many more stalls will be situated.
- ☕Refreshments: we have several stalls selling tasty local food and drink and our friends at the Methodist Church opposite will be open for their famous bacon baps and tea/coffee.
- 🚻Toilets - available on the town car park (small fee) or at the Methodist Church opposite.
- ♿ Accessibility: we have a lovely flat path around the chapel. Some stalls will be on the grassy areas, so please be mindful!

We also welcome any volunteers. If you come along and enjoy the space, please ask one of the team for information about volunteering 😃

If your child shows an interest in spells and potions, lean into it, it’s worth it for the aesthetics 😍

Like many children my eldest has always loved spells, potions & crystals, last Christmas I syphoned off a bit of stock and a family heirloom to put together a starter kit. In September she started the Junior Herbalist course with Louise Idoux of Oswestry Herbarium Herbalist, to give her a bit of real world application for her efforts and she absolutely loves it, 100% recommend!

We’re now growing her supplies, Grandad has added a beautiful little handmade chopping board (checkout his woodturning insta page), foraged herbs drying by the fire, fragrant infused oils doing their thing.❤️

If anyone’s interested in the course, I know a lot of my followers are Cheshire based thanks to Treacle Market, Cath Couzens, Medical Herbalist also runs Junior Herbalist and I believe she’s doing a special week in the Easter Hols if anyone doesn’t want to wait until the Sept 2026 enrolment.
