Powerscourt Gardens.

I mentioned Powerscourt Gardens,..in another thread earlier today and as it was only about 5 minutes drive from where i used to live in the 1980's i would go there very often,..many films were made here or part of,..like;

Excalibur.
Barry Lyndon.
Moll Flanders.
David Copperfield.
The Count Of Monte Cristo.

Looks just like my house 8)


I think that garden takes more than a gardener or two to maintain.

 

Such a wonderful estate. Some of our best photos from our trip several years ago were taken in the gardens.

 

Hi Jewell,

Hi Toni,
you could spend the entire day there,..i would often pretend i was going to visit a Wholesaler for goods,..but would hide away in Powerscourt, ,..nobody ever found out.

Hi Miss Liberty,
think of all the grass to be cut!,..ponds to be cleaned, .

 

I love to garden and that is gorgeous............BUT that is a whole lot of people and work to manage!!!!! Not quite my kind of gardening. Thanks for the pictures, though. Most of us would never get to see this if you didn't take the time to show us.
