A meeting place for garden and gastronomy enthusiasts.
The Cotentin Tourist Office is organizing the 21st edition of its PLANTS & FLAVORS fair in Cotentin at the Manoir du Tourp in Omonville-la-Rogue (50).
Around forty exhibitors from the Greater West come to meet an audience of amateur and knowledgeable visitors, to share their expertise, sharpen their curiosity and introduce them to the botanical varieties contained in their collections.
Thus, producers specializing in aquatic plants, rock garden plants, aromatic and medicinal plants, as well as southern plants, cacti, perennials, bulbs, etc., will be brought together. Horticulture lovers will be surprised by the unsuspected richness of the varieties offered during these two days.
Passionate professionals will provide advice on pruning, maintenance, and landscaping.
Plant-based products, ceramics, sculptures, decorations, and garden furniture will also be offered to visitors.
The flavors will not be forgotten as many exhibitors will come to offer their products: cheeses, artisanal charcuterie, honey, teas and herbal teas, cider, breads and brioches, dried fruits… will be in the spotlight all weekend.
