Anyone can take part! ⁠

Simply pick your top 3 varieties by looking at the batch number on each label. ⁠

⭐️ Why is voting important? ⭐️⁠
Each year new and experimental varieties are displayed for the first time. Visitors to the festival play an important part, by voting for their favourite varieties from amongst those displayed. Voting for your favourites will give the plant breeders an idea on what varieties our customers like and dislike. ⁠

So... this means your votes can influence what varieties are sold in garden centres across the UK! ⁠
