The Poppy Garden is situated in Oldcastle, County Meath. It is a quirky and magical cottage garden, full of wonderful planting, nestled in the stunning Loughcrew Hills.

The Poppy Garden is a stunning garden, full of quirky features, fragrant flowers and whimsical touches. The Poppy Garden's three dogs will welcome you and happily let you pet them on your garden walk. A maze of paths takes you around the interesting planting, to the fairy tale house with a patio full of colourful pots and covered with flowering climbers. Continue out to the back and from the raised back patio you will have magnificent views of the Loughcrew Hills. There are thousands of decorative plants to captivate you at The Poppy Garden with some really unusual and pretty specimens. Explore the beds and borders, vegetable plot, orchard and locker garden. Sit and enjoy a tea or coffee and cake in peaceful surroundings on the back patio. Before leaving The Poppy Garden you can purchase a lovely pot or plant for your own garden.
