William Morris once said – “Large or small, [the garden] should be orderly and rich.”
Not far from Galway, Ireland at Kylemore Estates is a 6-acre formal Victorian walled garden where orderly beds of flowers and vegetables are arranged against the backdrop of the Connemara Mountains. It is filled with plants introduced to the Irish bog environment prior to 1901. The garden was the winner of the Europa Nostra Award in 2001.
These photos were taken the first week of May, too early for a full display of summer color. Just imagine it now!

A perfect take on the challenge. I used to live very close to Kelmscott Manor, home of William Morris … he practiced what he preached 😊
