The Iturraran Collection Plant Fair, organized by the Gipuzkoa Provincial Council and taking place in Aia, will bring together plants from five continents, emphasizing sustainability and gastronomy.

From ferns of the dinosaur era to botanical gardens of the future, everything will be represented at the 22nd Iturraran Collection Plant Fair. The event will be held next weekend in Aia and will bring together about fifty nurseries.
The Gipuzkoa Provincial Council announced this Tuesday that the fair will take place at the Iturraran Botanical Garden, where plants from all five continents will be sold. The aim of this edition is to demonstrate that "gardening is not just ornamentation, but a movement linked to sustainability, gastronomy, and new lifestyles".

For this reason, this year's exhibitors will showcase, for example, sustainable gardening proposals that require little water. Among other products, they will sell old varieties of tomatoes, organic seeds, air plants that live without soil, or hidden treasures offered by nature such as carnivorous plants that eat insects, giant tree-like ferns that evoke the dinosaur era, or Protea lilies, with over 100 million years of history.
