Description

The Open Gardens of Ireland.

From the tiniest town garden to the grandest castle demesne and historic country house, from the most hidden sanctuary to our best loved public properties; this guide takes you on a grand tour of Ireland and 375 gardens that you can visit.

There are gardens that can boast art galleries, riding schools and temples to Egyptian goddesses. Others with museums dedicated to science and astronomy, Lady Gregory, the Great Famine, agriculture and Irish furniture.

The ever-growing number of gardeners working organically give tips on fighting garden foes and nurturing natural allies. You can even learn about growing a nuttery from a bag of supermarket walnuts.

Irish horticulture has never been more vital and Irish gardeners have never been so welcoming.
