The Carlow Garden Festival, organised by Carlow Garden Trail, is a renowned garden event in Ireland and will take place from July 27 to August 4.
The festival will feature twenty gardeners and designers from Ireland and England, offering talks, tours, and workshops for gardening enthusiasts of all skill levels.
Events will be held in various locations such as Ducketts Grove, Huntington Castle, and Altamont Gardens, with a special visit from Arthur Parkinson and Niall McCauley on July 28.
The festival promotes diversity and inclusion, addressing topics like garden design, vegetable gardening, biodiversity, and plant conservation, while also highlighting Carlow’s food offerings.
Chairman of Carlow Tourism, Michael Walsh said “diversity and inclusion is most certainly the focus of this amazing festival; it is all encompassing addressing topics as diverse as garden design, vegetable and herb gardening, year-round garden colour and biodiversity, while also recognising Carlow’s profile for its quality food offering. It takes place at one of the loveliest times of the year with the main gardening work in gardeners’ own garden havens completed, giving them the opportunity to down tools and travel to our beautiful county. The festival brings together, in one location, an unrivalled variety of Irish and UK gardening and environmental experts to share knowledge and information about a host of topics”.
