The market gardeners have been hard at work over the last few weeks raising thousands of plants from seed, in order to offer the best possible range of veg, herbs and flowers for your garden, allotment, patio containers or even window boxes.

Forty Hall Farm throws open its gates this May for its largest-ever plant sale, inviting Londoners to kick-start the growing season with thousands of organically grown plants, expert knowledge, and a vibrant weekend atmosphere.

Taking place on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May 2026, it will transform the farmyard into a bustling hub for gardeners, growers and families alike.

The farm’s Market Garden team has raised thousands of plants from seed, offering an exceptional range of organic vegetables, herbs and flowers suited to everything from allotments and gardens to balconies and window boxes.

Visitors can expect a fantastic selection, including:
