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.
