The Kildare Growers Group garden for Crumlin Children’s Hospital serves as a place of solitude, a sanctuary where the owner can temporarily unwind and enjoy peace and silence within a series of relaxing spaces.
Sponsored by Crumlin Children’s Hospital, the garden is designed by Anthony Ryan, a landscape architect and partner in Hayes Ryan Landscape Architecture, and Kieran Dunne of L&K Dunne Nurseries, a member of the Kildare Growers Group.
A key feature is a secluded, sheltered alcove that can only be accessed via stepping-stones over a circular pool. Contemporary in style, the garden is structured with simple curved and sloped walls that gradually reveal the alcove, which is a refuge at the heart of the inner garden.
Anthony Ryan is a landscape architect and partner in Hayes Ryan Landscape Architecture. A specialist in creating beautiful spaces, Hayes Ryan provides landscape design and horticultural consultancy services countrywide. This year’s garden for Crumlin Children’s Hospital is the firm’s 25th individual garden design at Bloom.
