My favorite landscape architecture professor used to say that every great design project began with a great vision. There is no greater visual inspiration than touring the fabulous perennial borders, kitchen gardens and castles of Ireland. I am thrilled to partner with Time Travel of Portland, Oregon to present Down the Garden Path a garden tour of Ireland.
Not just an ordinary trip, we will trek down the hidden paths, through the garden gates to see Helen Dillon's private urban garden and expansive castle kitchen gardens. The trip includes the great gardens of Ireland like Powerscourt, Mount Usher and Derreen Gardens. We'll even find something delicious and local to eat. Part of the tour will be a hands on cooking experience at the Ballymaloe Cookery School.
I'll offer a lecture at Glin Castle. We'll stay in Country Houses. Ginger has outlined a great itinerary on her website and I invite you to peruse the schedule. Join us for a monumental garden and food tour of Ireland that will refresh and inspire you. It will be an intimate group with limited space. I look forward to hearing from you. The dates are August 8-21, 2009. We'll meet in Dublin. Pack extra camera batteries.
