Candelabra Primula tea and tour

Candelabra primulas are beautiful flowering plants known for their striking clusters of colourful blooms. These plants typically thrive in moist, woodland environments and are often found alongside streams or in damp meadows.

The name “candelabra” comes from the way their flowers are arranged on tall, branching stems, resembling the multiple arms of a candelabra. Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden provides an ideal setting to enjoy these stunning flowers. As you explore the garden, you’ll encounter a variety of candelabra primulas in different hues, including shades of pink, purple, blue, and white. These flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding to the garden’s vibrant ecosystem.

Make sure to wear comfortable walking boots as you stroll through the garden paths, which may be uneven or muddy in places. The woodland setting offers a peaceful atmosphere, with the sound of running water from the garden’s streams adding to the ambiance.

After your guided tour of the candelabra primulas, it’s time to indulge in a traditional cream tea at Fairhaven. This quintessentially British treat typically consists of freshly brewed tea served with scones, clotted cream, and strawberry jam. It’s the perfect way to relax and unwind after your garden exploration, soaking in the natural beauty around you.
