World famous Mount Congreve Gardens here in Co. Waterford were open to the public yesterday. They were looking absolutely splendid.
Like so many others, I am hoping that a resolution can be found to ensure that the Gardens remain open to visitors, as was the abiding wish of the late Ambrose Congreve.
I hope you enjoy this slideshow of the Mount Congreve’s summer splendor yesterday.

Stunningly beautiful compilation, Jean – thoroughly enjoyed this!
Hi Liz, thanks for writing and I’m thrilled you enjoyed the slideshow. It was such a pleasure to be in Mount Congreve yesterday!
Beautifully put together Jean; even if I never get there I’ll know exactly how splendid it is there. I’m reblogging so that a few flower lovers get to see it.
Reblogged this on Back On The Rock and commented:
If you like stately homes and beautifully tended gardens you should play this slideshow of a special piece of County Waterford in the sunny south-east of Ireland.
Hi Roy, thanks for your kind comment and for reblogging the slideshow. I sincerely hope you get to see Mount Congreve when you are over.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you, Roy for the reblog!
Hi Jill, your comment ended up with me here on Social Bridge. I’m glad you enjoyed the slideshow and let me thank Roy, again too, for the reblog!
Those pink poppies are gorgeous! I wish the gardens had been open when I visited in October. I hope they continue!
Yes, I loved the pink poppies too! Fingers crossed the Gardens will be open to the public forever and ever ~ even from April -September ~ as was the case before.
