When is the best time to visit Dangan House Nurseries (Galway, Ireland)?

Visit in spring for vibrant tulip and daffodil displays. In summer, the herb borders and rose arch hit peak bloom. Autumn highlights seed heads and grasses; winter offers bare-branch structure and themed decor in the Tearoom.
