Summer is coming and gardens are springing into bloom and Tenby Observer readers can take advantage of a bargain day out to make the most of the sunshine.

Visitors to The National Trust's Gardens at Colby, near Amroth, will be able to enjoy the riot of colour generated by the collection of over 500 species of rhodedendron and azaleas as well as taking the opportunity to browse the stalls of plants set up for this year's Volunteer Plant Fair on Sunday, May 12.

Along side plants grown by volunteers to sell in aid of The National Trust, there are trade stands from all over the county with a wide variety of plants shrubs and herbs.

"This is one of the best times of year to visit the gardens, the colours are just spectacular," said Gill Farrow manager at Colby. "The plant fair draws in more visitors and so as well as raising money through plant sales, the additional admission revenue goes towards supporting the work of The National Trust in Pembrokeshire.

"There is no extra charge for entry to the plant fair, so it is an ideal day to combine a trip to see the gardens with some plant purchases and a delicious Pembrokeshire cream tea in the Bothy tearooms."

The plant fair is open from 11 until 4 pm. National Trust members free, adults £2.80.
