Calling all plant parents.

If you’ve jumped on the greenery trend, there’s an excellent excuse to leave your seedlings to tend for themselves for an afternoon and be inspired by the experts.

The beautiful Victorian Working Gardens at Fota House have reopened for the season, with a fascinating collection of plants, from the gigantic echium pininana to the tiny delicate flower of the geranium macrorrhizum, to check out.

“There is a wonderful selection of fuchsia (in Irish, fiúise or deora dé (God’s tears) including Delta’s Sarah, Nellie Nuttall, Ricartoni, Splendens, Magalenica versicolour and Magalenica var. Molinea.” they told us.

Fota House head gardener Bernard and his volunteer team are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to explore the grounds for spring.
