Orchid Exhibition
Mar 4 – Mar 13
March witnesses the flowering peak of numerous exotic orchids. Many of these extraordinary plants open their blossoms in March – some capturing the eye with their vibrant colours, others with their peculiar form. Some orchids have blossoms so tiny that they are almost invisible without a magnifying glass. These flowers have the power to turn an ordinary day into an exciting adventure in the world of plants.

Estonian Grapes Exhibition
Sep 11 – Sep 13

Grape growing has gained momentum and table grapes are increasingly grown also in Estonia. No wonder, as breeding has made substantial progress over the past fifty years and a large number of Russian and Ukrainian table grape varieties are now available to our grape farmers. Local grape growing is also supported by the recognition that we can grow our grapes in a significantly more environmentally friendly and therefore, healthier way. The pests harassing grape farmers to the south of us have yet to adjust to the Estonian climate.
The Saare-Tõrvaaugu gardening farm near Vändra in Pärnu County will provide an exhibition display chosen from roughly 150 varieties in their collection, organise a grape tasting and sell both grapes and plants at the venue. Grape farmer Mart Laul will introduce grape varieties grown in open fields in North Estonia. The exhibition provides an excellent opportunity to check out grapes grown in Estonia – both the varieties suitable for growing in open fields and in greenhouses will be exhibited. Visitors will have a chance to inquire about different grape varieties and get useful tips on growing grape vines.
The Saare-Tõrvaaugu gardening farm will also exhibit their watermelons and melons, grown in an environmentally friendly way.
