Like I told you here, last year I discovered the Mediterranean Garden Society had an active branch in Portugal and I loved their Garden Fair. I was determined not to miss this year's event but on Saturday I had a dog training session booked before lunch and I didn't want to miss that either. As a result, my day turned out a bit too crammed with activity and I eventually arrived at the fair just an hour before it was supposed to wind down!
I'm still glad I went as I had the opportunity to chat to some sellers and even buy some Myrtle (Myrtus communis) seeds "harvested in the Mediterranean woods of central Portugal" from Sementes de Portugal.
I also had a wonderful time wandering around the Estói Palace grounds, where the fair took place.

Hopefully, next time I'll be able to attend the workshops and perhaps even meet some local bloggers.
The palace grounds are lovely. I love plant markets too, you can always get plants cheaper than at the nurseries.
ReplyDeleteAwesome venue, pity you missed out on the best plants.
ReplyDeleteI was there on the morning! What a fabulous day it was :) Merry Christmas, Mara!
