I have seen their workshops mentioned on Facebook a couple of times but never had a chance to visit their premises close to Tullow until yesterday. Mentioned them briefly here just before Christmas when they had a pop-up shop in Kilkenny.

Jim and Mary Healy have been working on the Chocolate Garden brand for years now and when I last spoke to them a couple of years ago they were finalising their plans to move into a new production premises and visitor centre behind their home and beside Rathwood garden Centre.

What an amazing range of products – and the chance to attend chocolate making workshops as well! These chocolate lolly’s caught my eye, as did the chocolate fountain. A lot classier than some I have seen!

If you are traveling close to Carlow check them out.
