Browse for plants, get advice
After such a fabulous time in May we are pleased to say that the Pop-Up Plant Stall hosted by Watsons Plants is becoming a more regular feature at Blackthorpe Barn!
Watsons Plants are the talented team behind the beautiful planting in our courtyard troughs and Chris Watson will be setting up in the courtyard or, if the weather takes a turn, you’ll find him under cover nearby.
Join us from 10am–4pm on Saturdays and Sundays, every other weekend, to browse a selection of quality plants and pick up expert advice to help your garden thrive this summer. (See the dates in the key details.)
Free entrance, free parking

Blackthorpe Barn is situated just south of Junction 45 of the A14, three miles east of Bury St Edmunds, in the village of Rougham.
Look out for the entrance gates to a long tree-lined avenue at the White House junction, with the Barn on the right of the avenue.

We’ve been busy on the farm…
The harvest season has officially begun for our farm team!
We’ve started with our Winter Barley, specifically the KWS Tardis variety. This feed crop will help nourish the livestock of East Anglia. Plus, the straw will be baled for bedding, which will eventually return vital nutrients back to the land as manure. It`s a beautiful cycle of sustainability in action.
Stay tuned for updates as we continue our harvest journey!
