Bees, Art, Markets & Food: A Weekend Extravaganza @ SOLAS

This weekend, SOLAS Eco Garden Centre, a hub of vibrant activity, promises an unforgettable experience for every member of the family. From celebrating the buzzing world of bees on International Bee Day to delighting in the colour and creativity of a painting party, there's something to capture everyone's interest. 

Our recent 'Brushes and Bubbles' event, which drew art enthusiasts from as far away as the USA, is a testament to our growing global acclaim. Adding to our success, our online presence has achieved the number one status on Google in Ireland for the term 'Garden'. 

This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication of our website and content team, living proof that winners are
made, not born.

SOLAS – Plants 

Our Plant of the Week is the Rhododendron. These evergreen shrubs, which bloom from spring to early summer, offer a wide range of colours. Thriving in acidic soil and sheltered spots, they're perfect for growing at the edge of a woodland border or near a stream or lake. 

SOLAS – Shop

We're excited to introduce a new range of organic and sustainable wines, specially selected from small producers and not available in supermarkets. These unique offerings are now available in store at SOLAS.
