There are few pleasures quite like wandering through a beautiful garden on a summer’s day. On Sunday, 14th June, garden lovers, nature enthusiasts and supporters of a wonderful cause are invited to enjoy a special Open Gardens event at the stunning Seanabea Cottage, Ballyshane, Cloyne.
Hosted by John and Hilary Terry, this much-loved garden will open its gates from 2pm to 6pm in aid of Marymount University Hospital & Hospice, offering visitors the opportunity to experience a truly special outdoor space while helping to support the vital work of Marymount.
A Garden Full of Inspiration
Whether you’re an avid gardener seeking new ideas, a keen photographer looking for beautiful surroundings, or simply someone who enjoys a peaceful afternoon outdoors, Seanabea Cottage offers a delightful escape.
Visitors can stroll through thoughtfully designed planting schemes, admire seasonal colour and enjoy the tranquillity that only a lovingly maintained garden can provide. Every corner offers something new to discover, making it the perfect destination for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature.
Supporting Marymount’s Vital Work
This Open Gardens event is about more than beautiful flowers and landscaped borders. It is an opportunity to support the extraordinary care provided by Marymount University Hospital & Hospice.
Donations on the day will help Marymount continue to provide specialist palliative care, hospice services and support to patients and families across Cork and beyond. The generosity shown at community fundraising events like this makes a real and lasting difference.
A Warm Welcome for Everyone
One of the great joys of Open Gardens is the sense of community they create. Visitors have the chance to meet fellow garden enthusiasts, share ideas, enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and spend a few hours surrounded by natural beauty.
Whether you come with friends, family or on your own, you can be assured of a warm welcome.
