The Rare and Special Plant Fair was established in 2001 with the assistance of Bord Bia, to ensure that the gardening public has an opportunity to purchase rare and difficult to source plants, while at the same time visit a garden of note that they may not otherwise visit.

On the 10th of May 2020 Tyrrelstown House, Co Dublin www.tyrrelstownhouse.ie will host Rare and Special Plant Fair following Glin Castle, which played host to this special event in May 2019.
