Dublin Gardens - Hunting Brook

A secluded botanical paradise – home to Jimi Blake, one of Ireland’s most renowned plants men. A dynamic and innovative garden set in 20 acres, creates a fusion of prairie, tropical, woodland valley gardens with an eclectic collection of plants, many from his plant hunting expeditions are both sensitively and imaginatively composed.

The garden offers something for everyone from lazy woodland walks through the ancient glacial valley and through the remains of a 7th century ring fort where an extensive range of woodland plants are grown – The garden is experimental, exciting and constantly changing. The garden has featured in many magazines, including: The English Garden, Gardens Illustrated, Gardeners World Magazine and Country Life.
