Ireland's Secret Gardens
Travel Tips
for Ireland Garden Tours
by Annabella Fitch Hutton of The Irish Connection
Ireland's famous green is fed by the showers. Although weather is warm in summer, it rarely gets hot. Spring and fall tend to be cool with some rain. Dressing in layers will handle most weather conditions.
Walking around gardens requires flat, sturdy shoes to handle uneven footpaths and terrain. Less able walkers can also view gardens from easier vantage points.
Recommended reading includes "The Gardens of Britain and Ireland" by Patrick Taylor, "O'Brien Guide to Irish Gardens" by Shirley Lanigan, and The Daily Telegraph - "The Good Gardens Guide."
As the saying goes, "There's something of Ireland in all of us," and Americans can expect a warm welcome in the Emerald Isle. Since many Irish people have relatives or friends who live in the U.S., visitors often are greeted with questions about where they are from.
