Mount Usher - “Enchanted Garden”

The Mount Usher Garden, Ashford, Co. Wicklow, (Ireland) was created by four generations of The Walpole Family spanning a period of 115 years commencing in 1865. In 1980 the gardens were bought by Mrs Madelaine Jay who leased it to the current tenants, Avoca Handweavers in 2007. The garden, which covers 8ha (22 acres) through which the Vartry River runs, is home to 32 of the Champion Trees of Ireland as well as approximately 4,500 different varieties of trees, shrubs and plants, many of which are rarely seen growing anywhere else in Ireland.

This video was created by us in May 2018 on two visits to the Gardens. Thus you can see a large spectrum of spring / summer vegetation - from beautiful Bluebells through majestic Rhododendrons to colourful Azaleas. 700 individual clips were recorded, all sounds also recorded at the gardens, some 50 hours of video editing, few hours of choosing music and many revisions and corrections of the final edit.
