"We were very happy with the new site and a big thank you to Narberth School for letting us use it," said Span Arts volunteer and community officer, Belinda Bean.
"The layout of the site made it much easier to navigate, with plenty of room for stallholders and customers.
"It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining and there was a fantastic range of plants and local crafts.
"We look forward to making the plant sale bigger and better next year and look forward to seeing you there."
