There are a number of lovely gardens open to the public at this time of year, including these ones - The Garden at the Bannut, three acres of garden “rooms”, formal and informal. There is interest in every season, from thousands of wild daffodils to magnolias, rhododendrons, a laburnum walk and an award-winning tea room! We were enchanted when we went by the Cornus Controversa Variegata -  the wedding cake tree - spectacular. Although open to the public from April to September, it will be contributing towards charity by being included in the National Gardens Scheme.
