Our staff did a great job, working diligently and patiently, keeping quality top of mind at all times. Moving day arrived, and as you can see, close to 20 tons of stone and material were delivered to the show floor, and off we went. We tested the stone archway, with Reid from VRS Stone Masonry checking the structural integrity of his work. All was well to say the least!<br />
5 days later, all done with great results. We won the prestigious W.E. Bridgeman award for Best Overall Use of Hardscape Elements, so congratulations to Sean Anderson for his inspiring design, and to all our staff for their hard work and dedication, and of course to Tourism Ireland as great partners in working together to showcase "The Wild Atlantic Way", at Canada Blooms 2014.

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">Today we were met by Patrick Temple at our hotel who escorted us to his family estate where his mother Elizabeth has spent the past 25 years lovingly creating Salthill Gardens, a one acre walled garden within the grounds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by Elizabeth and here husband Lynne, and were treated to the most wonderful coffee (Elizabeth swears it is the well water) and cakes in the refurbished old piggery, now a cozy studio/lounge area. Having gotten acquainted we set off to tour the garden and grounds which overlook Donegal Bay, an idyllic borrowed landscape for Salthill. Given the proximity to the ocean there have been challenges and benefits to the creation of the gardens, as Elizabeth explained, one must be careful of the salt tolerance of the plants as well as the soil requirements, as the ground is heavy clay and quite alkaline so many of the plants in the garden are a result of trial and error. However, Elizabeth has passion and perseverance in spades, as evidenced by the fabulous garden and its structures, truly a pleasure to spend a morning in, only amplified by the warmth and hospitality of our hosts!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">On a side note, Patrick runs the family business Magees in Donegal Town, and they are the premier makers of Donegal Tweed in the area, still produced by hand and supply the likes of Burberry and Ralph Lauren.

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">From Donegal we departed for Dunveagh National park to meet up with the second head gardener Mark McFadden and Failte Ireland representative Maire Aine Gardiner at 12 pm at Dunveagh Castle. Our GPS however, decided to deposit us dead centre of the park in a valley of grasses and heather, surrounded by imposing barren mountains on either side, with not a building, car, or tree in sight. Clearly we had made a wrong turn, but a local sheep farmer came to our aid and pointed us in the right direction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">Fortunately, our hosts were patiently awaiting us, an hour after our scheduled arrival! And on a Sunday no less. Luckily for us, as they gave us the most wonderful private tour of the extensive gardens and the castle itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">Given the barren landscape that surrounds the castle and grounds, it is truly astonishing to see the lush collection of plant material contained within. There are plants from around the world, and Mark possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of all the trees, shrubs, and perennials, putting us to shame! For us however, the most astounding plants in the gardens were the rhododendrons, hundreds of them, some so tall we mistook them for magnolia trees! Coming from Toronto, this is seriously depressing, but our spirits were lifted by the beautiful symmetry of the Italian garden, the serenity of the Japanese garden, and the simplicity of the Tuscan garden.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">We were then happy to enter the castle for our tour to escape the cold rain and warm up. And this castle is one of the coziest we have ever been in! Rich linen wallpaper (ORIGINAL), hand woven carpets, and a diverse and impressive collection of antiques gathered by the former inhabitants of the residence. Of note however, was the deer motifs that embellished everything from the fine china, silverware, and other antiquities within.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"> Having met up with Brian, we set off for our first stop of the day to visit with Susan Kellett at her grand ancestral home of Enisco House in the Sligo County. We enjoyed a lovely private tour of the grounds and the residence, and she regaled us with stories of the family and some of the changes that have happened to the estate over the years. The grounds and parts of the house are open to the public during the warmer months, and there is a visitors center where one can research genealogical data, and ancestry, a valuable resource for the local population.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The coastal scenery in this area rivaled that of the cliffs of Moher, with promontories jutting out into the raging ocean, striated cliffs catching the sunlight, and mist rising over the adjacent fields. Breathtaking!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">We were greeted at the Ceide Fields visitor center by Greta the head archeologist at the site. Her enthusiasm and knowledge were inspiring and we learned so much about the earliest settlers 5000 years ago. Yes I said 5000 years ago! It was also fascinating to hear about the process of the digs in the ancient peat bogs and how deductions about civilations past are made based on carbon dating, archeological finds and locations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The river is one of the most famous for salmon fishing in the UK (hence the icehouse). Lunch was fantastic, the fish and chips were AWESOME!!! That defib came in handy!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Just what the doctor ordered! The next day, fully rested we enjoyed a full Irish Breakfast with freshly baked scones and muffins made in house by the excellent pastry chef, just the thing to set us on our way.</span><br />

<br />
A cool rain greeted us at the airport, and a light mystic fog enveloped us as we walked the cliff top trails, with the sun breaking through the clouds depositing a beautiful rainbow in the cold Atlantic. The sheer magnitude of the cliffs became apparent as we ascended the limestone steps, traversing the pastoral fields of woolly sheep. <br />
<br />
The ocean view was unparalled in our experience. The sublime majesty of the cliffs in all their grandeur, the pastoral fields of the rolling countryside, the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff face, and the feeling of the ocean mist instilled an unrivalled sensory experience. This site must really must be experienced in all it's natural glory with all one's sensory faculties. Photographs alone will not do the Cliff's of Moher justice, you really have to be here!!!!<br />
<br />

We are multiple year garden builders at Canada Blooms, and are excited to announce our participation again at Canada Blooms 2014. "Wild" is the theme. We've partnered with Tourism Ireland by being selected to build their garden to resemble "The Wild Atlantic Way". Stretching 2,500 km's along Ireland's western seaboard, this captivating roadway is the longest defined coastal drive in the world, officially launching in March 2014. <br />
Our team will be visiting Ireland, for the purpose of being inspired by the natural beauty of the country, and incorporating new ideas for our garden build at Canada Blooms 2014. Stay tuned for great updates, photos, videos as we take this journey!<br />
