Yesterday was a windy, blustery day here in Roscommon. Undeterred by weather we decided to pay a visit to Strokestown Park Walled Garden. As if by magic, the rain kept away while we were there.
Really enjoy walking around the 6 acres of restored Georgian gardens, especially the wilder undergrowth beyond the lake. Love this double flowered vibrant pink Hawthorn. The large bush was covered in blossom which look like miniature roses.
Nice to see the display of old tools and paraphernalia from a bygone age, replaced now by mechanisation.
The Peach harvest is looking promising, incredibly healthy looking plants.
Grapes looking good too, lots of fruits forming.
An early flowering Honeysuckle which is also scented, perfection!
