The Bantry House in Ireland is my favourite garden. Usually I don't find pleated hedges the most appealing, however the way that this garden creates intricate patterns amongst the tall planting and unusual structures. furthermore during different times of the year, we see a mixture of colours and generates a new atmosphere around the estate. 

Richard White utilised his wealth to decorate the house, featuring a water fountain at the centre, which is surrounded by wisteria sinesis and wisteria floribunda. the intricate nature of the garden heavily reflects the fortune and collection of artefacts that Ricard White owned.  

Although it is a small garden, I admire the delicate details and think it suits the age of the houes.
