This impactful concept garden is designed to forge a deeper connection between consumers and sustainable dairy production while also promoting the essential nutritional credentials and great taste of locally produced Irish dairy.
The heart of this garden is the farm, showcasing Ireland’s unique landscape and 6,000-year history of farming and dairy production. It includes a grass meadow, multi-species sward (grass mixture) and Irish native trees, shrubs, and hedgerows.
A grassy mound has been cut through to demonstrate the many different layers of nutrient-rich soil in an Irish dairy pasture, while elsewhere in the garden an abstract sculpture provides an optical illusion, forming the shape of a cow when viewed from certain standpoints. The farmhouse features an open kitchen where some of Ireland’s top chefs, influencers, scientists, farmers, and historians will hold demonstrations and talks over the course of the festival.
