We are rather spoilt where we live on the County Antrim coast, not only because we have stunning scenery all around us but, because we have Glenarm Castle Walled Garden, one of the oldest walled gardens in Ireland, only a matter of minutes up the road.
It is a place that I always love to visit to gather some inspiration for my small plot. It is a wonderland for all gardening enthusiasts and is especially beautiful at this time of year when their renowed tulip collection is in full bloom as is a huge magnolia towering above the herb garden.
What's not to love?
Where do you find your garden ispiration?
Great photos! I had the details of this place on my kitchen notice board for about 3 years, my husband and I finally got around to going last year and it was on their last day of opening for the winter, we were bowled over, it is just gorgeous, and the tea room is an added bonus.
ReplyDeleteI met you today at the 'Frock Around the Clock' event, you were most charming and your hand crafted items were lovely. I hope you will have a relaxing evening. Linda
Oh I forgot, did you hear the Antrim Community Choir on the day you went, my friend Marie started that?
ReplyDeleteLinda, thanks so much! It was such a lovely day wasn't it? So lovely to meet you and your daughter. Isn't Glenarm a wonderful space? We visit quite often (only up the road from us) and always leave with grand plans for our garden. I have total greenhouse envy! :-) No choir the day I went but would be lovely to see...I will certainly keep an eye out if they are there again. xx ps I have followed you in Bloglovin' - I love something new to read and your blog looks lovely! xx
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! Sorry I am only getting back to you now! My husband has greenhouse envy too, and came back from our visit with all sorts of ideas. Linda x
