It’s the first time a garden from Northern Ireland is in the running for the prestigious prize
Glenarm Castle’s Walled Garden is really branching out as the famous Co Antrim attraction has just been shortlisted for the Historic Houses’ Garden of the Year Award.
Estate manager, Adrian Morrow, described the garden, which hosts an annual tulip festival every May, as “a snapshot of horticultural history”. “Its original rectangular layout, enclosed by sturdy stone walls, adds to its unique charm and functionality.’ Voting is free and open to the public so we would urge all of Northern Ireland to get behind us and help us bring home this highly coveted title.”
“Historical features like the 25-metre circular yew hedge with a sundial at its centre, gives the garden a sense of timelessness,” he added. This year’s shortlist also comprises Blair Castle, Dunvegan and Mount Stuart in Scotland and Hergest Croft and Scampston in England.
