The magic in new beginnings is truly the most powerful of them all – and in County Carlow, that magic arrives each year with the first snowdrops of Spring. As Winter begins to fade, the delicate white and green blooms emerging from the soil signal fresh beginnings and the start of the annual gardening calendar.

These early signs of Spring are celebrated across County Carlow with Snowdrop Time, a vibrant programme of garden openings, guided tours, specialist talks and family-friendly experiences running from late January through February 2026.
