In the mild frost free climate of Co. Wexford in Southern Ireland, our seven acres of heritage gardens are beautifully laid out around the Georgian Manor of Kilmokea. Topiary, lawns, herbaceous and mixed plantings combine with architectural features and ornaments to provide an enchanting series of walled gardens that everyone is welcome to walk around and enjoy. Stroll through the 'rose quarter garden' and 'kitchen garden' towards the herbaceous borders, the dovecote and Italia loggia and pool.

Enjoy the tranquillity surrounding the trout lake, board walk and duck pond as you pass flowers and plants of many varieties such as Camellias, Rhododendrons and Candelabra Primulas. Discover the more unusual Metasequoia glyptostroboides, observation hide and literary corner. Complete your walk with a trip around our craft shop and relax and enjoy the assorted cream teas, light lunches and refreshments, which are available. Visit our Craft Shop inside the Pink Tea Cup Garden Cafe and take a stroll to view the items on display at your leisure.

The Gardens, Cafe & Craft Shop are open daily from March to October from 10am until 6 pm (or dusk if earlier)

"With so much beauty and so much peace
You can let your thoughts run free
And think of the past and dream of what's to come
In the gardens of Kilmokea"

"Blossom and flowers are everywhere
Their fragrance fills the air
Old walls and pools mark their boundaries
And paths wander here and there ...."

"Peacocks strut in your vision
And statues compete with clipped yew
And the feeling of peace is supreme here
In the gardens of Kilmokea"
