Early May we had a surprise invitation to visit a local woodland garden as the bluebells were coming into flower. Many thanks to Sue for her generosity. The May meeting had a good crowd for Carl Wright's talk on a Burren garden. He called his slide show 'Between a Rock and a Hard Place' and never was a title more appropriate. Through vision and sheer hard work over 12 years, Carl has produced the most incredible and lush garden that is both exotic and yet blends comfortably into the local landscape. He was inspiring with his story of its development, his many plant passions and collections and a semi-tame fox called Edward. Many of us are hoping that a visit to his bit of paradise will be on the agenda soon!

The artist Denise Hussey is opening an exhibition of paintings in the Sheen Falls Lodge in Kenmare on Wednesday June 1st from 6 – 8pm. The show continues until the 30th of June. Lofty Connections is inspired by the funeral of Pope John Paul and her own memories of growing up in a convent. This exhibition is a childhood reminiscence of clerical life “...contrary to public opinion my memories are precious: I still remember the rustle of robes and silent soles on polished floors...“. Also on a more abstract spiritual note her other paintings in the exhibition are of vines and her personal response to them as she travelled around Provence.
