Galway Garden Festival

Galway Garden Festival was first held in 2009 and was the brain child of garden enthusiast Padraigin O’ Donoghue and her brother Eamonn. Over the past 5 years it has evolved into a unique and multi facetted event. At its core, it is a showcase for the very best of rare and special plant traders from all over Ireland.

This is coupled with a speakers programme that has featured many internationally renowned experts. It also offers a feast of outdoor melody with the best of Brass Band, Classical, Jazz and Traditional Irish musicians. A surprising aspect of this festival is that there is so much to delight children with entertainers, open air performance and educational role play. In parallel there is a superb Artisan Food and Crafts arena and an excellent variety of catering facilities.

This festival is truly an explosion of colour, scent, sound, texture and tastes.

A festival of small and large surprises with an emphasis on excellence and affordability
