Kitchen Garden Walk

This complimentary interactive tour will focus on all the key elements that lead to the creation of a sustainable and productive garden here at the Ashford Estate. Two of our gardeners, Alex and Niamh, will showcase the produce that start life in our gardens before being picked fresh for our seasonal menus, which you will enjoy during your stay with us.

Itinerary

Hear about our vegetables and edible flowers, the importance of composting, our no dig, no chemical organic policy, how to produce a healthy crop and the biodiversity of the area.
Learn about the role sustainability plays in the functioning and the future of the estate. All restaurants on the Ashford Estate use local and organic food produce where possible and our chefs work closely with almost 30 local food suppliers and source home grown produce from our own gardens and polytunnels.
After the experience, you will be guided back to Ashford Castle through the walled garden by Alex or Niamh.
