Fiann Ó Nualláin in Leighlinbridge – The Garden Village
Fiann Ó Nualláin – Plants, Place and Wellbeing along the Barrow
Step into a slower rhythm with horticultural therapist Fiann Ó Nualláin on a gentle guided walk along the banks of the River Barrow in Leighlinbridge.
In this ancient landscape, Fiann invites you to rediscover the quiet wisdom of plants and their role in our wellbeing. The River Barrow is a place shaped over time and this talk offers the chance to reconnect with knowledge passed down through generations.
As you wander the riverside path, you’ll encounter a rich tapestry of native plants and herbs, many of which have long been used for healing, nourishment and everyday care. Through stories, insight and practical guidance, Fiann will reveal how these overlooked plants can be used for herbal remedies, skincare and the treatment of common ailments. Relaxed and engaging, this is an opportunity to come away with simple, accessible ideas for incorporating natural remedies into your daily routine.
With a focus on slowing down and tuning in, the experience also explores the restorative power of nature – how time spent outdoors can calm the mind, ease stress and bring a sense of balance.
Suitable for adults. Please wear comfortable footwear and dress for the weather. Places are limited, so early booking is recommended.
