The Bay Garden is a garden in Camolin, County Wexford in Ireland.[1][2] It was developed by horticulturalists[3] Frances[4] and Iain MacDonald[5][not in citation given] using the remnants of a neglected 18th century farmhouse, an old orchard and various other outer areas.[6] The garden is a registered member of the Wexford Garden Trail.[7][not in citation given] The Bay Garden was put up for sale in 2020.[2][8]
History[edit]
The MacDonalds purchased the two acres of land in 1989, believing it would take a decade to transform into the Bay Garden with 10 unique ‘rooms.’ The endeavour was completed in 2014. The gardens are: Barn Garden, Bog Garden, Cottage Garden, Funereal Border, Hot Border, Pool Garden, Rose Garden, Serpentine Garden and Woodland Garden.[9] The Jardin Sheila was constructed in 2014.[10]
