Welcome to Secret Gardens of Sligo’s third season! Over the last two years, we have raised a wonderful €6270 for the various charities chosen by the garden owners, and we would like to thank all the visitors who have made this possible.

This year, there are 11 gardens in total, some of the original founder members of SGS and others, newly joined this summer. We hope you will make a date in your diary to visit them all. Each one is a completely different experience – the owner’s personal journey through horticulture and design, different plants and palettes, and how to make the best use of the site, soil and situation that chance has given them. But they are all a pleasure to explore!

Secret Gardens of Sligo provides a wonderful opportunity for all garden lovers to do what they enjoy most - peek over a wall, sneak through a gate and explore an unknown garden to their heart’s content. These hidden gardens, large and small and in some wonderful settings, offer inspiration, ideas and tranquillity - a perfect day out.

The Secret Gardens range hugely in size, style and content, are generally works in progress and many have been created on a shoestring, but they all have this in common: their owners are passionate about them.

To visit a garden please telephone the individual garden or contact Rosemary Kitchin, telephone +353 (0)86 3375741(email: kitchin.rosemary@gmail.com )or Cicely Gunton tel: +353 (0)71 918 3936
