WEST CORK GARDEN TRAIL

RAVENS’ OAK GARDEN

From Primula vulgaris to Tetrapanax papyrifer ‘rex’, this garden is composed of many colourful rooms and secret corners, filled with an abundance of well known plants and rarer varieties. It includes, amongst others, a wildflower meadow, colourful herbaceous borders, a bold exotic area and a contrasting woodland area. There is an organically managed orchard, polytunnel and vegetable garden with raised beds, which supply the house throughout the year.

Created from a bare site in 2004, Ravens' Oak Garden is a hidden gem tucked away in lovely, unspoilt countryside and was originally designed to attract and encourage wildlife. It now boasts many species found in or immediately around the garden, with 60+ species of birds seen including resident Choughs and Ravens.
