For our final day in Donegal we visited Seaview Gardens in Mountcharles. This was one of 16 gardens on the Gardens of Donegal Trail (along with Salthill, which we visited two weeks ago). Each garden on the trail keeps its own hours for visitors, and we got lucky with this one being so close to the house as it was only open for 3 days this season. The owner was taking donations of 5 euro per person to give to a charity that digs wells for clean drinking water in Uganda.
It was a small garden, maybe only 1/3 of an acre, but beautifully maintained and everything was in bloom.
The gardener had chosen such a wide variety of flowers, and the colors were amazing.
The garden sloped down and away from the house, which you can see in the background. The center of the garden was lower than the sides so as to leave an unobstructed view of the water, thus the name; Seaview Gardens.
These were a few of my favorites. It was a perfect day for viewing the garden, and we all were glad the rain stopped and the sun came out for a few hours. After the garden we headed home to pack up and get ready for our drive south tomorrow for our final week in Dingle.

My thoughts exactly! I said it to the kids as soon as I took it, “Oh, I think that one was Christmas card worthy!”

Such ambition to raise and care for such a variety of beauty…sort of like raising eight children! All of them need directed attention, weeding every now and then, and unbounded love. 🥰. Safe travels to Ballyferriter, the next parish over from here.
