- It is the end of an era. Helen Dillon's amazing garden in Renelagh, Dublin, The Dillon Garden, has been sold and is closing this year. Helen is the Doyenne of Irish Gardening but wishing her all the best in her new venture.
This will be one of four videos as I intend to film this iconic Irish garden each month before the gates finally close.
Check out my book, with a forward by Helen Dillon herself, Journal of an Irish Garden...

Amazing garden! Sad to hear Ms. Dillon is selling it, but hopefully it'll be properly cared for by the next owner! Thanks for sharing.
I do hope so !
So beautiful! Kind of sad too.
Yes, I know what you mean :/
Hope the next owners take great care of Helens legacy. Thanks for tag along, Rachel.
Yes, we all hope so.
I wonder what will become of such a place - so many things that should be shared and enjoyed are being lost. But I'm glad you're enjoying it while it's still available - and sharing with us in the TH-cam world.
Thank you, Roger. Yes, Helen's will be a great loss to the nation. I have visited every year for a long time and there is always something new and exciting tofdiscover.
WOW! absolutely STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL garden :-) thats so sad that Helen Dillions house and beautiful garden is closing though and I really hope and pray that the new owners take care of it and love it as much as Helen did :-) it is such a BEAUTIFUL garden absolutely BREATHTAKING :-) thanks so much for sharing Rachel and looking forward to seeing the garden over the next four months too :-) sending heaps of love and tons of happiness from Waterford to Wexford for a WONDERFUL Sunny filled Wednesday ahead XXXXX
Yes, get to Helen's this year, Lyn, otherwise you will be kicking yourself afterwards to have missed the opportunity. Check the website but I think she is open every day in July.
Wishing you and Sean a super week!
Gardening at Douentza Thanks so much Rachel :-) I will definitely plan a visit to go and see it next month, I would hate to miss it XXXXX
It's such a pity, such a wonderful garden. Let's hope whoever buys the place will have the interest, means and skills to keep maintaining the garden as beautifully as it is today.
Yes, I do hope so.
'As is the gardener, so is the garden'. - It will never be the same. Such is the somewhat ephemeral nature of man made landscapes. ~ It is really marvelous to see this jaw-dropping garden again and at a different time. I don't think I've ever paused a video so much! Just glorious. Looking forward to your future installments recording for posterity Helen Dillon's artistry. ~ So nice she blessed you with a few gems.
I agree. Even if the new owners keep the garden (and don't put it over to lawn :O ), it will never be the same. The best gardens have the stamp of their creator and change each year. That has always been one of the good things about Helen's garden. Each year I go to see what she has new and there is always something.
OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMG
CONSOLIDA AJACIS AND DELPHINIUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IN BLUE COLOR

:)
The garden looks amazing ang I loved the cypripedium reginae blooming. Such a pity that the garden will close and I will never get to see it. 😕
I know :'(
Excellent tour. I keep coming back to it every few months for inspiration. Just out of interest Rachel do you happen to know where I can find an Admiral Rawlings? The National dahlia society is not operating any more 💚💚
Thank you for watching and your comments. I regret I have no good news regarding 'Admiral Rawlings'. It is hard to come by. Helen Dillon gave me one and that's why I have it but I do not know where you can source it.
wow what a beautiful garden thank you so much for sharing 🌹🌷thumbs up👍
Thank you for watching.
Oh my... that's just the Perfect Garden... for sure the garden of my dreams!!
So sad Hellen Dillon had to sell it. I just hope that whoever had the fortune tu buy it will keep on with Hellen incredible work. They didn't bought just a garden, they bought a precious gem!
Thanks for sharing Rachel, it's just so full of amazing plants I can't even...
I agree completely, Alberto, with everything you just said.
Sooner or later it comes to us all to have to leave our beautiful gardens for one reason or another, health, old age etc., however, I feel sure that she will garden no matter where she moves to. A garden such as hers comes from something special inside you and a true passion for it no matter the passing fashions. I think you could plop her in a bog, and she would create something extraordinary out of it. I am so glad you are sharing it with us before she moves on.
Yes, I think Helen plans on making a smaller garden close by so that will be worth looking out for. Everything she touches is magic!
Its so sad to see this beautiful garden taken from us!!I wish Helen and Val all the best in there new home TFS Mairead
So true, Mairead.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
This would be the perfect house and garden for you Rachel. For you and your family. Wouldn't it be wonderful ? Well, I know, I'm an eternal dreamer...
Haha. Pity I don't have the €4 million to buy it ;-)
+Gardening at Douentza Nonetheless, I wish you had the money.
Okay, thank you. I wish I had it too :D
Beautiful! Thanks for taking us along with you on your tour of this wonderful place Rachel. You're lucky to be taking a piece of it with you home to your yard.
Yes, I sure am. Thank you, TD
Absolutely breathtaking! What a loss to the public! I wish her well in her new place. Love your new Pelargonium Echinatum and you will have fond memories of the Dahlia soon to be in your garden! Thank you for sharing!! Have a great week :)
Thank you, Pam. Yes, I am very lucky to have momentos.
