Fota House is delighted to welcome back the Irish Specialist Nurseries Association Autumn Plant Fair
on Sunday 14th September. An exciting selection of rare plants will be available for purchase and
the growers will be happy to share their knowledge with all. There will also be garden ornament &
craft stalls participating.
The ISNA represents the smaller, specialised nurseries in Ireland. These nurseries offer a wide
variety of plants, services and advice. Most of the stock that they produce is propagated by
themselves or sourced from other artisan producers. They offer a large selection of plants ranging
from the more common species to the rare and obscure cultivars not normally found in the bigger
retail outlets in Ireland.
The Fair will run from 11.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. Food & Coffee vendors will be on-site. The event takes
place in the area adjacent to the Fota House Car Park making for easy accessibility for visitors.
