Ireland

For Gardeners, Lovers of Wildflowers, as a Holiday Destination... plus much more

IRELAND... what first comes to mind as gardeners and flower lovers when you think of Eire?

If wild flowers are your passion, then surely the Burren limestone pavements must be close to the top. The following website is a mine of useful information on everything about them, including the distribution of these pavements in the UK, Ireland, and Sweden.

When you have a look around the website you will even find the recipe, which the late Geoff Hamilton used and recommended on the Gardeners World TV programme in the UK, for making artificial rocks.

Following the Burren with its glorious wildflowers, I want to mention a website which deals with gardens in Eire, a useful map is included [definitely an unmissable resource] which features a very useful garden trail. Garden trail... with maps

I can Garden is another useful resource which features garden tours... and SO much more. If you type 'Ireland' into the search box a long list of useful items comes up, including books, catalogue, documents, events, forum, and links... why not check them out?

Then we have the address of the Royal Horticultural Society for Eire. RHSI...Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland

Next a website which deals in coach holidays plus a link to some useful free holiday brochures... you can click on specific countries, when I checked there were four brochures available on Ireland.

For the coach holidays go to:- Travel 55

Check this link for your free holiday brochures!

Incidentally, there is a link at the very bottom of this page to our Places to Visit page... you might find this of use, too.

All the above... and we haven't even mentioned shamrock, the wearing of the green, and St. Patrick's Day!

These are a few items without which an Irish page cannot really be called a page about Ireland ... so I will start with a mention of March 17th and a brilliant and fascinating destination where you can immerse yourself in Irish history, culture, some delightful quotations, and more.
