It’s been a glorious year in our gardens. We’ve had colour and sunshine in abundance, though some gardens have felt the strain of it too.

These weeks before the autumn colour takes hold are a lovely time to visit a garden. I went down to Bellefield in County Offaly, where the early evening light was catching the flowers, the greenhouses and the water. Paul Smyth, the head gardener, was out cutting the meadows now that their seed has fallen.

Bellefield was sparkling. It’s become such a wonderful place to visit, and every visit helps support the work of the Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland.

So, if you’d like one last garden outing to draw the curtains on summer, come to Bellefield’s October open weekend. I think you’ll love it.

RHSI Bellefield House and Gardens, Shinrone, Co. Offaly, R42 NW82.

The open weekend is Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October 2026, 11am–4pm.
