Kitchen, Head Gardener's cottage, Kylemore Abbey

Kitchen in the Head Gardener's cottage, in the Walled Victorian Gardens, at Kylemore Abbey, a Benedictine monastery founded in 1920 in the grounds of Kylemore Castle, in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. The house is situated above the gardens so that the Head Gardener could watch over the workers. The Head Gardener was a highly respected position. Developed originally in the 19th century as part of the castle, the gardens had 21 greenhouses and employed 40 gardeners. The gardens were restored 1995-2000 and are open to the public. Kylemore Gardens are heritage gardens, growing plants from the Victorian era. Picture by Manuel Cohen
