This unique event on November 2nd and 3rd, at the Fatacil, Lagoa celebrates the start of the gardening year and is dedicated to making beautiful and sustainable Mediterranean gardens with minimum water use.
This Autumn Mediterranean Garden Fair will celebrate Tenth Anniversary for our Association and take place for the first time at the FATACIL Showground in Lagoa with its excellent facilities for visitors and exhibitors.
PLEASE NOTE : NEW VENUE AND NEW DATES !
For the first time, our partner for this event is Câmara Municipal de Lagoa and the organisation would like to thank its President, Sr President Luis Encarnacao, and his team for their support. As our Silves venue was cancelled at very short notice, we made a proposal to Lagoa Câmara and their rapid response to offer support is much appreciated. We look forward to working with them in future years to develop this special event in the gardening calendar.
To celebrate the Tenth Anniversary for MGAP - there will be various displays and available for sale a very distinct selection of plants suitable for Algarve gardens. Including the rarely offered Rosa banksiae alba plena, Rosa mutabilis and Rosa ´Iceberg. Also available in limited numbers will be good size plants of the native winter flowering Clematis cirrhosa.
