In this weeks episode of Master My Garden podcast I talk to Angela Jupe. In this really interesting chat we talk all about peonies, architectural salvage, her love of snowdrops and much more. Angela is a founding member of the GLDA Garden and Landscape Design Association, the professional organisation for garden design in Ireland.
Angela's work has been featured in magazines, including Gardens Illustrated, the Irish Garden, Image, Irish Homes, BBC Homes and Antiques and Period Living and in newspapers including The Washington Post, the Irish Times, the Sunday Times and the Sunday Business Post-She has participated in RTE's The Garden Show with Dermot O'Neill and Helen Dillon, on 'Our House' with Duncan Stewart and on BBC TV with Gerry Daly.
Bellefield house and gardens is also a partner garden to the RHSI.
She also runs and maintains a sister website www.irishsnowdrops.org which focuses on one of her passions – the world of Irish Snowdrops hosting as one of her events a “Snowdrop Day” annually.
Bellefield House is:
Situated in gentle farming countryside in the heart of Ireland, close to the Georgian town of Birr, at the foot of the Sliabh Bloom mountains and near to the unique Lough Boora Bog nature park.
The location is perfect for day touring or an extended stay in the comfortable cottages in the grounds.
It is justly famed for its snowdrop and hellebore collection with old daffodils and tulips in Spring. The season extends into Summer with iris and peony displays. Autumn is noteworthy for late flowering perennials, fruit and vegetables.
Bellefield House & Gardens has featured on many TV programs down through the years - notably Dermot O'Neill's Gardening programmes
