May Date for 3rd Annual Northwest Garden Show

02.02.2012

Dates have been confirmed for the 2012 Northwest Garden Show, to be held on the grounds of Castlefinn Partnership Complex, on May 26th and 27th.

Now in it's third year, the show has had remarkable success since its inception in 2010 and has generated over €3.5million to the local economy in just over two years.

This year organisers are predicting a 30% increase in footfall on last year's very impressive 13,000 visitor numbers. This year also sees a new project expected to have international appeal added to the weekend's schedule.

However, it will have a legacy far beyond the weekend in May, say organisers. The garden, to be designed by Chelsea Garden Show Gold Medalist Diarmuid Gavin, will be built on an acre site incorporating a traditional stone walled garden, a covered informal meeting space internal walkways, permanent garden furniture and structures associated with the specific garden design. 

CPI Ltd Director, Michael Carlin says, "the seed of our original idea was born after Castlefinn won a national Pride of Place award in 2008. This gave us the inspiration to build on that momentum and what we have now is in fact the largest Garden and outdoor living event outside Dublin and Belfast."

"The Northwest Garden Show is now a pivotal event in the national event calendar. This year we will add to that success with the addition of this high profile tourist attraction on site."

This year the 10,000 sq. ft. Indoor Exhibition Arena will house the floral pavilion and the new and exciting Trash 'n' Fashion event. The 8-acre Outdoor Exhibition Arena will cater for up to 140 unique exhibitors spread right around the grounds showcasing a myriad of products and services with something to interest everyone.
