In the south of Ireland the landscape is anything but harsh: medieval castles surrounded by lush forests, quaint fishing villages and exotic gardens. The warm Gulf Stream creates an almost Mediterranean atmosphere. Plants from around the world thrive and make for vibrant gardens such as Phemie Rose's. Every day the passionate gardener tries to improve her garden even more. The region has become a haven for people who have fulfilled their dream of a simple but happy life - be it as a dedicated gardener such as Phemie, as a tourist guide for a famous castle or as a recluse on a deserted island.
