The historic gardens at the majestic Johnstown Castle Estate Museum & Gardens in Wexford have undergone substantial renewal and replanting projects over the last three years, and work continues apace during the summer months on the restoration of the 19th-century glasshouses and the new planting scheme in the walled gardens. These extensive projects began in 2020 and are being overseen by the Irish Heritage Trust, a non-profit organisation, which cares for and manages the property since 2019. “The layout of the walled garden has changed so much since its construction that the only original feature of the garden are the walls themselves. By embracing the changing nature of the space, we looked to the future when designing the new layout of the walled garden. Another highlight for garden lovers visiting Johnstown Castle Estate Museum & Gardens is the re-designed sunken garden which took place between 2020-2022.
