The Carlow Garden Festival is delighted to welcome back the very interesting speaker that is Fiann Ó Nualláin to the Carlow Garden Festival this year. On Saturday 25th of July at 2pm Fiann will lead a gentle guided walk along the banks of the River Barrow in Leighlinbridge.
Re-discover the quiet wisdom of herbs and plants and their role in our wellbeing. Along the banks of the River Barrow, Fiann will explore a rich tapestry of native plants and herbs, many of which have long been used for healing, nourishment and everyday care. It's an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life and experience the restorative power of the natural world.
