Tankardstown- ‘A work of Heart’ takes it’s inspiration from the classic tradition of French formal kitchen gardens most notably the gardens of the Chateau de Villandry.
This theme represents the passion, creativity and belief of both Donaill in the garden and Rob in the kitchen at Tankardstown and the importance of a strong relationship between the vital role of the garden and the reliance of the Restaurant upon fresh harvest in its prime. The traditional layout has been given a twist with a playful planting style where plants intermingle freely whilst adhering to the good principles of organic horticulture by maintaining a working rotation.
The garden showcases a variety of herbs and vegetables grown in the chemical free walled gardens at Tankardstown, enhanced by displays of edible flowers with which the Chefs love to decorate dishes. To compliment the formal setting, the garden also features a backdrop of the entrance to the walled pleasure garden at Tankardstown which is very popular with guests.
