Discovered the magical Patthana Garden in County Wicklow, Ireland. A dream 4 years in the making! TJ Maher's creation is a riot of color and wildlife. These pics show just the entrance - more to come! #GardenDesign #IrishGardens

Ascending Patthana's upper gardens, ethereal Verbascum and Lythrum spires dance with bold Canna and Hypericum, creating a wild yet intentional tapestry. A reminder that we designers craft not just beauty, but immersive natural experiences. Beautiful, isn't it? #GardenDesign

Wandering down through The Valley at Jimi Blake's @HuntingBrook Gardens, there was a sudden moment of pure magic I think MUST have been sent by wood nymphs. This quiet scene, bathed in natural light, really did feel like a pause in time. It was simply wonderful.

Had an amazing time at Duckett's Grove during the @CarlowTourism Garden Festival with friends Deidre, Paul, and Una! The highlight was Arthur Parkinson's engaging talk on gardening. Loved the ruined castle, the woodland walk and discovering the colourful walled garden.

Explore TJ Maher's innovative meadow at Patthana, where native wildflowers meet garden plants. Plum Agrostis, drifting Persicaria and rare butterfly habitats await. It's just one highlight of this remarkable garden. Read my full Substack tour: open.substack.com/pub/myrealgard…
