SEASONALITY & FORAGING

Lord and Lady Ardilaun’s passion for gardens and trees has created one of Ireland’s most outstanding and unique botanical displays. Comprised of 350 acres, Ashford Castle’s grounds delight the garden enthusiast and botanist alike with the variety of trees, shrubs and rare plants which assault your senses at every turn of the path and create a kaleidoscope of colour all year round. Towering over the grounds is an outstanding variety of native and imported trees. The giant Redwoods grow alongside Californian Monterey Pines, Spanish Chestnut and the Bishops Pine. While Lawson and Golden Cypress combine with the fruity scented Western Red Cedar. An international botanical collection has matured within the Ashford grounds with trees such as the English Yew growing alongside Japanese Cedar and Maples, Algerian Firs, Norwegian Maple, European Larch and Metasequoia (or Dawn Redwood thought to be extinct until 1944).
