After lunch at Seaforde House with Lady Anthea Forde and her sons, we toured her beautiful gardens. The sun was shining, the terriers frolicking, and the peacocks were strutting, their raucous cries echoing behind us. #seafordegardens #peacocks #northern Ireland #ig_ireland #discoverni #ilovenorthernireland

Family time is important in a very fast paced life, we loved exploring and making memories at the hidden, gardens and butterfly house at Seaforde, which boast Ireland’s oldest living maze and support an illustrious collection of plants collected and curated from distant corners of the world. The gardens also feature an arboretum containing champion trees and rare species. #makingmemories2018 seafordegardens discover more here ....... https://www.seafordegardens.com/explore/gardens-and-maze/ #seaforde #discoverni #northernireland #mourne #exploring #family #butterflyhouse #codown #ireland #seafordebutterflyhouse #seafordegardens

Th peacock obsession continues...🦚🦚🦚

I never thought much of rhododendrons before I moved to Northern Ireland but have fallen in love with them here. There is so much variety of form, size and colour but also seeing the changes through time. One of my favorite things at Seaforde is getting to discover their incredible collection- there’s a sense of anticipation and excitement every day! Even aside from the showy, sometimes richly scented flowers; to see the buds as they slowly open, the seed heads as they begin to form, the incredible leaf cases that can be as attractive as flowers in themselves, the beautiful barks and leaves with furry or shiny indumentum mean that no matter the time of year, the rhodies are worth a look!

Who needs flowers? Gorgeous plants in the walled garden at Seaforde
