Garden lovers will be able to pick up garden centre plants at bargain prices at the Cornwall Air Ambulance Spring Plant Sale.

A wide selection of quality plants for sale have been donated by more than 20 nurseries and garden centres. 

The annual event attracted more than 800 people last year and will once again be held in the helicopter hangar at the Cornwall Air Ambulance air base, Trevithick Downs, Newquay, TR8 4DY, from 11am to 3pm, on Sunday (May 20).

Visitors will also get to see behind the scenes at the charity, including viewing the helicopter up close and meeting the crew of critical care paramedics and pilots.

There will also be a pop-up charity shop, games for children and a raffle and refreshments.

All the money raised at the Spring Plant Sale will go towards keeping the air ambulance flying.

The charity has just launched the New Heli Appeal, which aims to raise £2.5m to bring a next generation air ambulance to Cornwall.

The garden centres and nurseries that have donated plants or prizes include Antony Woodland Garden, Hidden Valley Gardens, Kernock Park Plants, Mole Valley Farmers, Rising Sun Nurseries and Trematon Castle Gardens.
