"There’s a whole lot more to visiting a garden than flowers and horticulture. Some gardens have that special quality of making you feel better. You can’t catch this elusive something by looking at glossy garden pictures, you have to actually stand in the garden and breathe the air. I could sit for hours watching sun on water beside the lake at Altamont Gardens. I love looking over the hedge in County Carlow and seeing the rivers, mountains, sleek cows, rich farmland and thinking what a good place it would be to grow plants.
Carlow Garden Trail - introduction by Helen Dillon

 

 

 

In County Carlow, you will find some gardens with rarities, some with glorious colour displays, some with quiet places to sit and think. You can even find plants for sale, so you can bring a bit of Carlow home with you. Take a temperate climate, a handful of good soil, a glass of raindrops, a bit of warm sun and what do you get? A beautiful garden in County Carlow. Try it."
