Annual Spring Garden Fair at Claregalway Castle.
Sunday March 29th, 11-6pm
A perfect afternoon….. come to Claregalway castle, have a coffee and light refreshment, hear some live music and buy a plant to start the Spring.
The Spring Garden Fair is the first event of the year at Claregalway Castle. It will feature many of Ireland’s best nurseries and rare plant specialists and many well-known members of Irish Specialist Nurseries Association (ISNA) for whom this will be their first event of the season.
The Spring Garden Fair is the perfect opportunity for gardeners of all levels to visit Claregalway Castle and speak informally to the experts who will give advice and suggest the perfect plant choices for your garden: whatever its size, shape or aspect, making it the place you’ll want to be, to enjoy the summer ahead.
This will be a warm and welcoming and special gathering to begin the Spring. An unmissable event for anyone about to start a garden, or develop their existing garden, patio, or window-boxes, or wishing to enjoy good food and see handmade Irish crafts.
Come along and meet the Specialists who can address your garden problems, and are willing to share their knowledge and wisdom. It is an opportunity to buy one or two extraordinary plants at modest cost – all produced in Ireland for Irish weather conditions.
Also, for lovers of great music a the Contempo String Quartet will present a Spring Garden Concert celebrating landscape. Book your concert tickets on Eventbrite to avoid disappointment.
