Gardens of Wexford

We depart today, with our expert gardener Brona Dore, from The Alex Hotel in Dublin. Our first visit of the day is to a private garden in Gorey followed by a visit to Cois na hAbhann Garden Centre in Camolin.

Our afternoon will be spent exploring two more private gardens in Camolin before we travel onwards to the Ashdown Park Hotel in Gorey where our tour is based. An evening meal is included each night during out stay.

Following a leisurely breakfast we depart our hotel for a visit to a private garden near New Ross before continuing onwards to Johnstown Castle Estate. The Johnstown Castle gardens and lakes you see today were developed by the Grogan family, who brought their romantic vision to life with the help of the extraordinary 19^th century garden designer Daniel Roberston. 

We will return to our hotel later this afternoon.

This morning we start our day with a visit to a private garden in Bunclody followed by a visit to Altamont Gardens near Tullow, Co Carlow. The estate, covering almost 40 acres , is laid out in the style of William Robinson, which strives for ‘honest simplicity’ blending formal and informal gardens.

Following some free time for lunch (at own expense) we will enjoy a guided visit to another private garden in Bunclody before returning to our hotel in the afternoon.

After checking out of our hotel we will depart for a morning visit to Coolaught Gardens in Enniscorthy, a country farmhouse garden which blends old and new favourites in an informal setting. Our next visit of the morning is to Beechdale Garden Centre in Clonroche where we will have free time for shopping and lunch (at own expense)

This afternoon we will have a private garden visit in Coolgreany, Co Wexford before returning to The Alex Hotel, Dublin in the late afternoon.
