Salthill Garden
Set just a short distance from the sea near Mountcharles, County Donegal, Salthill Garden is a contemporary space that has been individually styled by Elizabeth Temple. There is always a good selection of perennials, vegetables and shrubs.
Salthill Garden is located less than 200 metres from the sea, just outside Mountcharles, County Donegal. This contemporary garden whispers stories of walled gardens of the past. Today it stands independent of trends and restorative themes.
The walls have stood for more than 100 years and have been well maintained. Since 1985, the lawn and cultivated perimeter have been gradually transformed by Elizabeth Temple to the present and individually styled garden. The evolution continues season by season, always featuring a good selection of perennials, vegetables and shrubs.
