WEST CORK Garden Trail

This annual event which takes place in June (11 Jun - 26 Jun 2011) is a highlight of the Irish gardening year, it gives the public an opportunity to view the beautiful and diverse gardens of West Cork.

The are a group of very different gardens large and small open for viewing in the beautiful surroundings of West Cork. Garden owners in many of the gardens make themselves available to talk about their garden.

While many of the gardens are open to visitors throughout the summer, there are some open to the public only during the Garden Trail -
don't miss your chance to see them!

Some of the fees taken during the West Cork Garden Trail go to charity.
