A perfect gardenThere’s a quiet magic to Sligo’s gardens, where nature and heritage meet in harmony. Thanks to the warming influence of the Gulf Stream and the sheltering presence of the Dartry and Ox Mountains, County Sligo enjoys a uniquely mild climate that allows a wide variety of plants to flourish — from exotic species to traditional cottage blooms.
