Fir and pine trees in the exotic gardens, due to the micro climate of Garnish (Ilnacullin) Island, Bantry Bay, Co Cork, Ireland.
Garnish Island or Ilnaculin, Beara Peninsula, County Cork, Province of Munster, Republic of Ireland: Fir and pine trees in the exotic gardens established due to the micro climate of Garinish (Ilnacullin) Island, with view on Bantry Bay and mountains in the background. Garnish is world renowned for its gardens which are laid out in beautiful walks and it has some stunning specimen plants which are rare in this climate. The Gardens are the result of the creative partnership of Annan Bryce and Harold Peto, architect and garden designer. The island was bequeathed to the Irish people in 1953, and was subsequently entrusted to the care of the Commissioners of Public Works. The alternative names Ilnacullin, or Illaunacullin ( island of holly ) and Garinish, also have a long history in the locality, and appear in early maps.
