The karst limestone region of the Burren is a natural wonder , with a lunar-like landscape and mysterious vanishing lakes and underground rivers.. Among the most wonderful things about it are the rare wildflowers that grow between the karren pavement: gentians, burnet rose, bloody cranesbill and mountain aven.
It is an inspiring area to garden with nature and that is exactly what environmentalist Carl Wright has done. Sheltered areas have been carved out from the hazel and blackthorn scrub around his restored stone cottage in the Caher River valley to frame an interconnecting series of gardens which blend with the natural environment.
This is a plantsman’s garden, with collections of unusual varieties of bulbs and plants, over 200 types of snowdrops, 150 varieties of hosta, daffodils, crocosmia and day lilies. A river runs through this 9 year old one acre garden ,winner of the Viking Garden award: a perfect place to discover the possibilities of gardening in the wild.
