About this event
On this guided walking tour expect to see rare and beautiful plants and exotic butterflies in Ireland’s only Butterfly House, not forgetting The Cambridge House a Greenhouse that plays an integral role for Lord Milo’s horticultural studies. The Pond which is the most meditative part of the walled garden is also home to spectacularly colourful botanical flowers from places like South America.
You will see the Rose Garden which was Isobel Talbots favourite garden, old varieties of roses, magnolias and lilies and a riot of colour when in bloom. The Dutch House and The Peach House – the oldest greenhouses in the garden holding rare plants – the former housing Mediterranean plants like pink peony and the later given over to Australasian shrubs.
