Recently writing about Irish staycation breaks and space being at a premium, The Menu found it hard to restrict himself to a mere handful of lines when it came to enumerating the charms of Two Green Shoots, in Glengarriff, Co Cork, when he could easily have gushed on for several pages.

Owned and operated by designer, forager and upcycler Kloë Wood Lyndorff, and her partner, RHS-trained horticulturalist and head gardener, Adam Carveth, the pair offer ‘Private Paradise Escapes’ with two accommodation options, their botanical-themed B&B and a botanical bell tent glamping experience, all set alongside their stunning 2.5 acre garden of re-imagination, home to over 200 varieties of rare and unusual plants, and a magical setting in which to discover and dine.
