PGG visit to Kilquade House and Gardens
This is a unique opportunity to visit the private gardens at Kilquade House as they are not ordinarily open to the public. Members will have the opportunity to view several of the gardens on the estate including the woodland gardens and two walled gardens. Although the woodland gardens are at their best in spring the walled gardens will be at their peak around the time of this visit. The first of the walled gardens is a large naturalistic garden with a stream flowing through the heart of it. It has its own delightful character and is quite different to the other walled garden on the estate.
The main walled garden is much more formal in its layout. It has undergone a major redevelopment in recent years and was created by garden designer, Martin Walsh. The gardens now consist of many spectacular displays including substantial herbaceous planting schemes, colorful annual and tender perennial displays, mixed borders, fruit and veg garden as well as a potager, a rose-clad pergola and a formal pond.
