Hunting Brook Gardens

Hidden in the foothills of the majestic Wicklow Mountains lies Hunting Brook Gardens, a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. Bright colours; lush, verdant foliage; shady glades and inspiring designs welcome the visitor to this exciting and evolving garden. The sound of the Hunting Brook running through the glen mingles with bird song and the rustle of leaves to give the sense of being ensconced in a remote idyll while being within a short drive of Dublin.

Hunting Brook is the home of Jimi Blake, a noted plantsman and designer and, as such, reflects Jimi’s tastes and evolving interests. In addition to opening his gardens to the public, Jimi also coordinates a series of courses
by a wide range of gardening related topics . These classes are designed to be enjoyable, informative and, in many cases, practical in nature and are taught by enthusiastic instructors who know and enjoy their craft. All courses are held at Hunting Brook and include morning coffee/ tea and a gorgeous home cooked lunch.

Courses are run thorough the year mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. For the current course timetable please Click Here
