O'Mahony Garden

Welcome to our Garden.  This is an award winning garden created by Mossie and Siobhan over the last 30 years.  It is a one acre ornamental garden looking on to the Galtee mountains, located on the Cork/Limerick border near Mitchelstown and Ballylanders.

 

It comprises of four different gardens, the Original Garden which we started 30 years ago.  The Kitchen Garden is a small garden outside our kitchen door and is predominately hot colours, reds, oranges and pinks.  The Pitch, as it is known, is our newest garden and quite formal, it was originally the boys football pitch.  The newest project is the development of a small orchard and fruit garden consisting of apple trees, plum trees, six raised beds and a small glass house. 

​

Mossie looks after the hard landscaping and hedges while I am the plants person.  I love plants, and in particular herbaceous perennials.  I have just completed Jimi Blake's, one year plantspersons course at Hunting Brook Gardens in Blessington.  I thoroughly enjoyed this course, got to meet some great gardeners and got to see a lot of rare and unusual plants.  I also had the pleasure of attending a number of Helen Dillon's gardening classes in the last few years.  Helen Dillon was a huge inspiration to me when I started gardening.   I learned a lot from her gardening programs on RTE some 3o years ago.  Helen continues to garden in her new garden in Monkstown, Co Dublin.
