Pollinating Plants in the Victorian Working Garden
There are many examples of good pollinating plants in the Victorian Framing Yard. They include Fuchsia, Digitalis (or Foxglove), and wallflower but there are so many more as you walk by the borders or inside the beautifully restored Victorian glass houses which supplied Fota House with fruit and vegetables in the past and are now home to a beautiful array of plants.
