On 27 February, Kildalton College hosted the first of this year’s trolley fairs organised by the Irish Hardy Nursery Stock Association (IHNSA). The threatening weather that was forecasted may have impacted numbers attending but it did not hinder the energy and success of the event. Over 30 nurseries and horticultural suppliers exhibited at the event and over 150 visitors from the horticulture industry attended. There was a wide variety of plants on display ranging from trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, alpines, roses and bedding. The quality and variety of plants were extremely high and this reflected the high
standards and quality that Irish nurseries practice.
The IHNSA trolley fairs provide an ideal opportunity for wholesale nurseries to showcase their plant ranges and selections for the upcoming season. They also provide an opportunity for garden centres, landscapers and other horticultural professionals to place orders, network with the various nurseries and view the various plant ranges on offer. ✽
