Paulstown, Co. Kilkenny
30 July 2025
As part of the Carlow Garden Festival, Shankill Castle is delighted to welcome Tanguy de Toulgoët, a passionate horticulturist and organic grower. With over 30 years’ experience in horticulture, Tanguy brings a wealth of practical knowledge.

At Dunmore Country School, he has created a thriving kitchen garden that feeds his family year-round. His methods are deeply rooted in French-style potager gardening, permaculture, and biodiversity-friendly practices, which he tailors to the Irish climate and soil conditions.

His approach focuses on soil health, seasonal growing, companion planting and building ecosystems that attract pollinators and support wildlife. Set in the fitting venue of Shankill Castle, Tanguy will demonstrate how to create and manage a productive and resilient kitchen garden that is beautiful, practical and rich in biodiversity sharing simple, effective ways to grow your own food.
