Club members thoroughly enjoyed the outing to Wexford gardens. The tour started with tea and scones in Bunclody Golf Club.
The first visit was to Tombrick Gardens, Ballycarney. Walter Kelly gave us an interesting detailed tour. It is 1.5 acres, many walks through mixed borders, a large duck pond and exotic birds.
Then Coolaught Gardens, Clonroche. Harry and Caroline Deacon and family run their cottage stlye garden packed with unusual plants and full of nooks and garden “rooms” We started the tour with tea, scones and lovely lemon cake.
There is a fine selection of plants for sale with some unusual roses and we took full advantage by purchasing many plants.
Seán – our bus driver was amazed when the boot was packed to capacity with an assortment of plants, even a tree.
The last visit was to Mary Egan’s Garden, Adamstown. Mary gave a talk with slide show in May so it was great to see all the plants in situ. Mary has a splendid vegetable plot too.
We finished the day with dinner at Brandon House Hotel, New Ross, the meal was served promptly by friendly staff.
It was appreciated by all. An enjoyable day out.
