River House Garden

Lord & Lady Puttnam
Old Court

Baltimore, County Cork Ireland

Originally a totally exposed 12 acre garden at a turn of the Ilen River now afer 17 years of developing, harbours some sheltered and shaded areas. The exceptional view from the house over the surrounding countryside still determines the mainly natural and relaxed planting style. Features cut flowers and vegetables in the Walled Garden, enclosed courtyard with fountain, orchard, avenue of Himalayan Birch, a polytunnel for veg and tomato growing and a millenium planted woodland. A small distance down to the river, a pond with the award winning 'Boathouse', a magical space altogether and this year's new addition of a custom built fruit cage. No dogs please.
