Open weekend at Offaly horticultural gardens

An open weekend continues today, Sunday, at the Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland gardens in Bellefield, Shinrone.

The renowned architect and garden designer Angela Jupe, who died in 2021, left her house and gardens at Bellefield, Shinrone, Co Offaly to the Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland (RHSI). As well as a house and cottages, the grounds include a 2 acre walled garden with a noted collection of perennial plants and rare bulbs, pasture, forestry, a bog area managed for biodiversity and a plantation of native trees.

The RHSI is hosting an open weekend there this weekend.
