Joy of exploring this Buddhist garden in County Wicklow 

Peter Dowdall gets grounded as he visits a Buddhist garden in Kiltegan in County Wicklow

TJ Maher moved with his partner Simon from Dublin to Kiltegan in Wicklow about 26 years ago and started to fall in love with gardening.

Originally the garden was relatively small, less than three-quarters of an acre including the house and paved areas. The house they moved to back then was called St Margaret’s. However, TJ is very passionate about meditation and Buddhist philosophies and came across the word “patthana”, which means to have an awareness in the moment.
