The secret garden of County Wicklow.
Long ago, this place was just a small mill by the River Vartry in County Wicklow.
Today, it’s one of the most beautiful gardens in Ireland, where plants grow freely and naturally.
The idea came from Irish gardener William Robinson, who believed gardens should look wild, not formal.
The Walpole family followed his dream, planting trees and flowers from all over the world.
Now more than 4,000 plant species fill the garden with colours, scents, and sounds of the river.
Every path feels calm and alive, changing with each season.
A place to walk, breathe, and let nature do the talking.
