Join Aine Bell to explore the built and natural architecture of the 19th Century Walled Organic Garden on the Enniscoe Estate.
This event will take a guided walk through the 2-acre organic walled garden, highlighting the historic built structures in the garden and their purpose. The head gardener, Aine Bell, will take you through the history of the garden up to the present day. We will discuss the continued preservation of our heritage apple tree collection along with the introduction of several heritage vegetable varieties aimed at preserving these important Irish varieties, such as the Mayo cabbage. We will conclude with an overview of how we are still making use of this architecture through the work of the garden team to continue to preserve and maintain it as a functioning productive space.
