Carving a slice of paradise Gash Gardens, Castletown County Laois, Ireland
From a dairy farm paddock to an Irish treasure Noel Keenan (1932 – 2000) founder of Gash Gardens, County Laois, Ireland
I
n 1984, dairy farmer and nurs‐ eryman, Noel Keenan began converting what was a farm‐ land paddock into a garden and over fifteen years he laid out his dream garden. More than thirty years later, Gash Gardens has evolved from a paddock where cows once grazed into a plantsper‐ son’s oasis covering an area of approx‐ imately four acres. A lifelong gardening devotee, Noel began by cre‐ ating a walk along the banks of the river Nore. Herbaceous borders, a stream garden, and a rock garden fol‐ lowed rapidly. As the garden devel‐ oped, he took great pride in showing off his ever‐growing collection of choice plants to fellow enthusiasts. A major feature of the garden is the Moon House with a cascade tumbling past its circular window into a lily pond. Around it gravel paths meander around raised beds with a wonderful collection of herbaceous perennials. Here, a hidden walkway over a stream is to be discovered and seats and a gazebo are invitingly situated at van‐ tage points. By the time of his un‐ timely death in 2000, Noel’s passion for plants and gardening together with his willingness to share his gardening knowledge had inspired a whole new generation of gardeners. The gardens progress through three distinct areas: a semi‐formal gravel garden where rambling pathways lead through billowing displays of flower and foliage; a lawn area punctuated
with colourful herbaceous borders and fine specimen trees, and a looped riverside walk where nature abounds. Water is a linking element throughout the garden with meandering streams and soothing pond areas inhabited by frogs and newts. A laburnum archway leads to a fernery and along a path lined with beech hedging to a walk alongside the river Nore. Great empha‐ sis is placed on foliage and texture. Beds are filled with rogersia, gunnera, astilbe, ligularia, darmera, iris, crocos‐ mia, and eye‐catching flowers like Lilium martagon, Alstroemeria psittacina and and Cirsium rivulare ‘Atropur‐ pureum’. The garden hosts a particu‐ larly large collection of perennial geraniums teamed with old‐fashioned roses and an ever expanding assembly of Polygonatum and other intriguing shade‐loving plants like Ypsilandra thibetica, Saruma henryi and Triosteum pinnatifidum. The garden features a collection of un‐
Cirsium rivulare 'Atropurpureum'

usual plants and fine specimen shrubs and trees. The season opens with a display of spring‐flowering bulbs, alpines and rhododendrons. Of partic‐ ular note is a fuchsia flowered goose‐ berry, Ribes speciosum, that flowers
Cornus controversa 'Variegata'
until May and a fine specimen of the wedding cake tree, Cornus controversa ‘Variegata’. In June, the laburnum tun‐ nel is a highlight. Throughout the summer months, herbaceous borders, linked by a river of lawn provide a con‐ tinuous succession of colour. A large collection of hardy geraniums features throughout the garden and contrasting uses of foliage helps to sustain inter‐ est. Hydrangeas like the velvety leafed lace cap Hydrangea aspera ‘Sargen‐ tiana’ and Annabelle’ provide a late display and the Persian ironwood, Parrotia persica, and the katsura tree, Cercidiphyllum japonicum combine to provide a spectacular seasonal finale. Today, Gash Gardens is managed by Noel’s daughter Mary and her hus‐ band Ross Doyle. www.gashgardens.ie
