Description
Twenty five years ago Ballynacourty was surrounded by open fields; today the gardens extend to approximately 3 ha. Soil depth is critical as this is a limestone area with stone outcrops close to the surface.
The garden is designed as a series of small gardens all interlinked. One garden has a laburnum walk underplanted with lavender, another has vegetables (just enough for the house use), another is full of soft fruit and flowers for picking. Throughout the garden there are many varieties of shrub roses. May and June are months when the garden is full of flowering trees and shrubs, while the other months have many interesting delights.
