Gardening at Glenculloo Cottage

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

My favorite part about having Glenculloo Cottage, is its rural location in the Glenculloo Valley, fronting the Mulkear River.  An amazing opportunity for me to use my green thumb abilities, well.  Pink flowers I arranged hang above the door, welcoming guests to Glenculloo Cottage.  Won’t you join us for some afternoon tea?

The old stone barn gets dressed-up with a basket of pink flowers at Glenculloo Cottage.  So many wonderful wild flowers growing along the Mulkear River and in the Glenculloo Valley in Ireland.
