List of garden fairs and plant markets?

Would a list of garden fairs and succulent markets be a nice addition? If there are many listed (hopefully ... ), then maybe organised by country?

I went there years go when I was just starting to grow semps and bought a few lost labeled ones, they were cheap though ...

Thanks for posting! I might go, maybe I can get some different Ledebouria there. I start to become more and more interested in these small plants because they give something to look at while the semps are under the snow.

Since the sale show in Klagenfurt is only about succulents you might be dissapointed. Better place to search for Ledebourias might be

Orto Giardino in Pordenone, Italy, from 3 th to 11 th March, 2012.

Address:
Fiera di Pordenone
Viale Treviso, 1

I go there each year for some 5 years or so .... Not a great selection of Sempervivums, but plenty of other plants to see and buy.

This year I decided to buy some Sedums there ... Smile

Thanks for the tip! Regarding Sempervivum there are still many more for sale online than I can buy right now (not so much place, also not unlimited money ... ). I am still experimenting with where they grow best around my house and planning to gradially replace my no-name's by pure species. A few at the time is great.
