Heywood Gardens - Co Laois, Ireland


Completed in 1912, the gardens are composed of four elements consisting of gardens, lakes, woodland and architectural features.  Linked by a terrace that ran along the front of the house, which now no longer exists. The formal gardens form the centre piece of the property and were designed by the famous architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869 - 1944)  and probably landscaped by Gertude Jekull (1843 - 1932). In the sunken garden, circular terraces descend to an elliptical pool, where small statues of turtles gaze inquisitively at the grand fountain.  An extensive replanting programme is currently underway.
