1st Devon Chilli Fiesta

10 -11 May 2014

 

RHS Garden Rosemoor, in partnership with the Dartmoor Chilli Farm, will be hosting the first ever

Devon Chilli Fiesta with a whole weekend dedicated to the world of chillies.

 

Offering a great day out for chilli enthusiasts, gardeners, food lovers and families alike, the theme for the

fiesta will be "Growing Chillies".

 

We will have commercial chilli growers and experts in attendance from up and down the country!

 

The Terrace Marquee will be full of artisan chilli companies from across the UK offering all things chilli such as chilli plants, seeds, jewellery, sauces from mild to wild, chilli chutneys, chilli chocolate, chilli fudge and much more.

 

There will be two great chefs who are coming to demonstrate cooking with chillies - ideas which you can try at home and recipes with a chilli twist.

With photography and chilli sauce competitions, chilli talks, samba music, dancing, children’s activities and guided walks of the garden there is plenty for the whole family to enjoy.

About the RHS

The Royal Horticultural Society was founded in 1804 by Sir Joseph Banks and John Wedgwood for the encouragement and improvement of the science, art and practice of horticulture. We held our first flower shows in 1820, were granted a Royal Charter in 1861 and acquired RHS Garden Wisley, our flagship garden, in 1903. From our first meetings in a small room off London’s Piccadilly, we have grown to become the world’s largest gardening charity. Today the RHS is committed to providing a voice for all gardeners. We are driven by a simple love of plants and a belief that gardeners make the world a better place. 209 years on we continue to safeguard and advance the science, art and practice of horticulture, creating displays that inspire people to garden. In all aspects of our work we help gardeners develop by sharing our knowledge of plants, gardens and the environment.RHS membership is for anyone with an interest in gardening. Support the RHS and secure a healthy future for gardening. For more information call: 0845 130 4646, or visit www.rhs.org.uk/join RHS Registered Charity No. 222879/SC038262
