Alexandra Eleonora "Nora" Pöyhönen (née Europaeus; 16 July 1849 – 1 April 1938) was a Finnish horticulturist and school director. From an early age Pöyhönen was interested in agriculture, and later as a provost's wife, was able to focus on horticulture. She soon gained attention due to her excellent gardening skills. Pöyhönen wanted to develop level of education and awareness of horticultural potential. After moving to Haapavesi she started a horticultural and cooking school, which taught both cultivation and utilisation of harvest. The school still operates today.
