Carlow Garden Festival

The ever-popular and highly successful Carlow Garden Festival, which runs from Saturday July27th to Monday August 5th 2019, is wonderful opportunity for gardening enthusiasts and nature-lovers to obtain inspiration and practical advice from a range of informative workshops while also visiting the many beautiful gardens located in the surrounding area. Featuring 19 celebrated garden experts over 10 days, the festival is sure to interest everyone. The 2019 programme features an appealing mix of top Irish garden broadcasters, writers and designers combined with well-loved UK garden speakers and experts.

With gardens in full bloom and with the majority of gardening work completed, the festival is the ideal time to relax, admire the work of others and make gardening plans for the coming months and year ahead. Visitors can also explore the Carlow Garden Trail which includes great old gardens that have been lovingly restored and maintained throughout the years, and smaller gardens which are maturing beautifully with time. Visitors can enjoy guided tours, usually with the owner of head gardener. Award winning garden centres and forest parks complement the joy of a visit to the Carlow Garden Festival. There is a wealth of interest for the young and old alike! 

The Carlow Garden Festival will be opened in Leighlinbridge village on Saturday July 27th by wildlife film maker Colin Stafford Johnson who will lead a nature walk along the River Barrow. In the afternoon he will be in Huntington Castle & Gardens for an illustrated talk featuring stunning film footage and photography from his special wildlife encounters around the world. What a special treat for all nature and plant lovers!
