My pleasure 😊 And thank you for joining me on the visit.

What a fantastic garden. Those climbing roses in the walled garden, my goodness. I could move there and become a squatter and be perfectly happy.

The climbing roses on the wall absolutely stole my heart too. There is a big house on the island too so you wouldn't have to squat but unfortunately I didn't find it.

Very beautiful, thanks for taking us along

To my shame iv never visited Garnish Rachel, hope to rectify that soon. I also think the Lady of Douentza should have her own T.V programme on RTE. Thanks for the tour Rachel.

It is nice to know how people still trust and can be trusted. Do add Garnish Island to your list. You won't be disappointed. Thanks for watching.

Amazing garden! The Tea trees are so beautiful. I always use tea tree oil, but I’ve never seen one of them.

Hi Rachel, nice video. I’ve never seen tree ferns, they were huge. Nice white wisteria and Japanese water iris.

Exquisite! That walled garden looks like a backdrop for a fairy tale book. I can only imagine how delicious it smelled on that island, all the fragrances commingling from bloom, foliage, and sea! Thank you for taking us with you to another exotic location. I have one question ... Was a residence ever built there, if for no other purpose then to house the gardeners?

Hi Laurie. There is actually a house but I didn't find my way to it unfortunately. The Italian terrace had a closed 'room' too which they call the casita and this is where guests would go after playing croquet on the lawn. I read that at one point 13 people lived on the island.

I visited Garnish in June. I think it is always worth a visit but a little later in the season the bedding plants in the main pool garden would have been there and added to the colour. I remember one visitor being slightly disappointed not to see all the colour she remembered from her childhood. So, if that's what you're after, go in July!
