Well it’s that time of the year again. Snowdrop Week in Altamont Gardens!
Here at Barrow Lodge Bed and Breakfast, Carlow Town we are redecorating our bedrooms but yesterday George and myself took a sneaky afternoon off and headed for Altamont Gardens near Tullow. One of the great things about Altamont Gardens is that no matter what season you go, there is always something different to be seen. Yesterday we were a little early for Snowdrop Week so we missed the guided tour with the head gardener which would have been very interesting, especially to George who is keen on gardening. We made our way around the garden, the lake, the walled garden etc, admiring the carpets of snowdrops etc. We enjoyed our walk around Altamont so much that next week we have decided to take another afternoon off and catch that guided tour with Paul Cutler, the head gardener.
