Festival of Gardens and Nature – 20-21 April 2024

Ballintubbert House and Gardens near Athy in Co. Laois will host a Festival of Gardens and Nature from 20-21 April 2024. The 2-day festival will involve a series of talks, workshops, organic cooking, garden tours, foraging classes and more. The festival brings together a hugely diverse group of speakers from the worlds of contemporary garden design, horticulture, historic gardens, and nature conservation. Guest speakers include organic gardeners and broadcasters Kitty Scully and Owen Colm O’Driscoll, chef Rory O’Connell, as well as Ballintubbert’s own head gardener Jenifer Taggart.
