Last year saw the first Festival of Houseplants take over the new Kildare Hall. A bustling marketplace selling unusual and interesting varities of plants along wiith pots, growing medium and everything you need to make your indoor garden thrive. There were also talks, demonstrations and workshops where visitors could pick up tips from the experts.
Our talks theatres are hosted by well-known personalities and feature fascinating talks, daily demonstrations and question and answer sessions by experts. Visitors have the opportunity to learn from the professionals, ask questions and be inspired.
