A very soft day in Wicklow! Still lots of work do

A very soft day in Wicklow! Still lots of work done - weeding, cutting back and most importantly making space for the Dahlia's being planted at the moment.

Thanks to everyone who visited. We are open all day tomorrow again 11-5pm with coffee/tea and homemade cakes. A reminder that we have umbrellas 🌂 at the door into The Grinding House if anyone needs one when they arrive.

We hope everyone enjoyed that glorious sunshine 🌞 and didn't spend all your time watering! We will welcome the rain now (for a short while at least...).

Some pictures over the last few days. Introducing the new stone that was uncovered recently, now taking pride of place at the entrance to the garden. Back open on Thursday at 11am.

@craiclystories are back on the 21st June to celeb

@craiclystories are back on the 21st June to celebrate Mid-Summer's! They are hosting a seasonal celebration of "Father Figures" here in the garden. The day also coincides with Father's Day, hence the theme. Over a long table late lunch of free range pig-on-a-spit from Wicklow's @winetavern_farm, banquet style and hopefully, weather permitting outdoors with predrinks in the garden. Enjoy a tour first, with time to relax, eat and sit back to listen to some stories.

More details on Craicly's website, link included in the bio.

For anyone that has attended any of the Craicly events you will know these are special, time to enjoy the art of good conversation and storytelling. Do you have to tell a story? No. But if you would like to get in touch with Jane from Craicly and throw your hat in the ring!

While we may be complaining about the rain over the last few days, the garden has been delighted as the tulips depart and make way for the new kids in town -
Alluims... in particular 'Purple Rain', Thalictrum 'Black Stocking', Meconopsis 'Lingholm', Euphorbia palustris, Astrantia major 'Gill Richardson', Crypipedium - Lady Slipper Orchid, Euphorbia griffithii 'Dixter' and Rheum palmatum var. tanguticum

Open tomorrow from 11 until 5pm.

We were honoured to host the first pop-up of the season with the very talented Jake McCarthy, and dream team Clara @grapecircus & Marina @milibloooms. We sat and got to enjoy the deliciousness too! It was super, so super it really needs to be done again. A date in May is incoming - keep an eye here for more details or let us know if you'd like a message when the tickets go on sale 👀

Winter still lingers here at Tinode Farmyard, but the first signs of spring are quietly arriving.
Snowdrops, hellebores and Daphne bholua ‘Jacqueline Postill’ reminding us that the garden is slowly waking up 🤍
The garden isn’t open just yet — we’re letting nature take her time — but our accommodation is open all year round.

We are so very sad to hear of the sudden passing of Seamus @seamus_d_o_brien. We will also remember him with this beautiful Iris chrysographes Thomas O Brien, which he named after his late brother. Thank you for all the knowledge and encouragement you gave us over the years.

Condolences to your Mother, family and friends.

As we mentioned here before, we sadly lost our donkey Babs during the summer. Mildred was heartbroken 💔, she barely moved from the spot where Babs was last and really didn't know what to do with herself. In the meantime, we were contacted by Sara down in West Cork. They had a similar situation, as their donkey Dolly was about to lose her old friend, a horse called Vic who was 28 years old.

And so it was agreed, Dolly would move to Wicklow and meet Mildred. That was a month ago, and Dolly has settled in really well. She has even introduced Mildred to polo mints, clever Dolly to bring treats with her!

If you're in the garden next Spring, or staying with us over the next while - please go say hello to the two finest ladies Mildred and Dolly.

While the garden may be closed, there are still very exciting things happening and being overcovered every day here..stay tuned!

The final figures are in from the fundraiser, and it's almost hard to believe - between everyone in this community and @jimiblake_huntingbrookgardens, we have raised €34,495 for families in Palestine. Thank you to everyone who made it happen. It's incredible and a reminder of how much kindness there still is in the world.

We have started distributing the funds now, and if there is anyone that would still like to donate, please send a DM, and we can share some of the direct links to the families we are helping.

Thank you to all the businesses 🙏 for, without any prompting, offering up amazing raffle prizes.
The lucky winners are being contacted this week

It's a day to reflect on how amazing yesterday was

It's a day to reflect on how amazing yesterday was at our fundraiser for Palestine. An unbelievable response from everyone, we were blown away by the kindness of customers, local businesses, friends, staff, neighbours - everyone that pulled together to make it all possible.

We had the most delicious cakes made by local Palestine lady Amal, plants dropped off for sale by other nurseries, books for sale, face painting, and generosity from everyone with time and donations that was unreal!

It doesn't make what is happening there any less awful, but we are very proud of this community for stepping up and showing loud and clear that they want to help ❤️

We will share more over the coming days, and the raffle will officially finish on Friday, the 26th, with the results announced on Monday, the 29th. More raffle prizes have been added and will be listed online. Link in the bio.

The garden will close for the season on Saturday, 20th September, but before we do, we'd like to ask the gardening community to come together and help us with this fundraiser. It may be a small gesture, but it's something we can do, and we hope you will join us.

How can you help? By donating, even with raffle prizes or plants.

Both gardens @jimiblake_huntingbrookgardens will be open at the earlier time of 10 am. Jimi will have a tour @ 2pm, and June @ 3pm

Refreshments, cakes, raffle, plant sales, and a coming together of our community to help where we can.

Customer Reviews

The attention to detail was 5***** beautifully restored stone buildings in a tranquil location. We stayed in the harness room it was perfect

Peter UK

Beautiful location and property, hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. Would absolutely stay here again if visiting the area again in the future! We had a fantastic time.

Maria UK

We were welcomed very warmly. Also, we already got the first excursion and information tips around our Apartment. We enjoyed this absolute peace. The bus to Dublin is right outside the property and other places of interest were close by.

Stephanie, Germany

Lovely 3 nights spent at The Cow House this summer, wishing we would have stayed longer to enjoy the beautiful gardens, explore the surrounding area, and take advantage of the small onsite café. The renovated space was delightful and full of interesting architectural details, the kitchen superbly equipped, the dining area with a charming view to the courtyard. Beds were comfortable, gorgeous linens… all in all a terrific find.

Jennifer, France

The Turkey House was so amazingly cute. Very comfortable. Very relaxing.

Dallas, USA

June Blakes Garden is an exceptional place. Do book to stay there - it is a privilege. Stunning garden to explore, beautiful studios - contemporary adaptation of the original buildings - to stay in. Both June and her daughter Niamh are so welcoming and generously shared their world and local knowledge. A treat!
