he Northern Ireland Heritage Gardens Trust recently held a very successful conference at the Woodenbridge Hotel, Co Wicklow, when over a hundred delegates from Ireland and Great Britain enjoyed a programme of talks about The Role of Water in Historic Garden Design and Management.
Christy gave our Spring Lecture earlier this year, giving us a foretaste of what was to come, and, for those also attending our conference next week, there will be a number of the books available to buy as well as an opportunity to speak to the author.
We have a packed varied program and an amazing Speaker list including Debs Goodenough (Head Gardener at HRH Prince Charles's garden at Highgrove) to name but one!
As usual we will have two garden visits:
On the Saturday afternoon we will have a coach tour to Phoenix Park and Tree Demonstration by Bartlett Tree Experts Co Ltd
On the Sunday afternoon the final event of the conference will be asuprise Very Special Private Garden Visit led by Reg Maxwell to the house (below) which was built in 1797.
The gardens have been transformed by the present owners over the past 3 decades into among the best in Ireland - they are fabulous!
There are still places available for those who wish to come along and be part of what we are confident will be an extraordinary conference!
ACT NOW fast to avoid disappointment!
