Gardens, Where Nature Intertwines With Art

The word “garden” conjures up a different image for just about everyone – and yet is universal in appeal. There are as many different garden styles, types, uses and designs as there are flowers, vegetables, seeds, and plants to call them home, and their beauty is found on all seven continents. Gardens have long been a muse and inspiration for artists and writers, from Impressionist masterpieces to the literary gardens found in Alice’s Wonderland, the plays of William Shakespeare or as immortalized by the world’s great poets. Join us, and find your own inspiration in this edition of The Compass.

An Irish Garden

A few weeks ago, we shared a recipe for Irish Soda Bread courtesy of Catherine Fulvio, proprietor of the famed Ballyknocken Cookery School and one of our key Ireland travel partners. She shares another one of her favorite recipes with us this week for her fabulous Beetroot and Parma Salad with Orange Dressing: “Here at Ballyknocken Cookery School, we get so much joy from producing our own fruits, vegetables, herbs and edible flowers. We are always creating new recipes to reflect what we have in season here in our beautiful part of Ireland, County Wicklow – which in fact is known as ‘the Garden of Ireland’.” Enjoy her special video message for Tauck along with an introduction to Ballyknocken’s herb garden.
