Romance is in the air all over Ireland as Valentine’s Day brings the perfect excuse to spoil your loved one rotten.
Valentines Day in Ireland
Ireland has a special connection with Valentine’s Day, as the remains of St Valentine, patron saint of love, are said to be buried under a Dublin church. So it’s no wonder Ireland is the most romantic place to be this weekend.
Gardening Ideas For Your Valentines
To help you decide on the ultimate romantic gesture, we’ve put together a selection of treats to win your loved one’s heart.
A romantic walk through a spring garden: Gardens full of snowdrops are a delight: pop into the garden centre here in Athlone afterwards for a warming cuppa in our restaurant!
Give a plant with a romantic name: Roses like ‘Crazy for You’ and ‘My Valentine’ make a long-lasting Valentine’s Day gift.
Fill a hamper with treats: Pick out a wooden gardening trug to fill with goodies from our delicious range of foodie treats.
Snuggle up in cosy new gardening clothes: Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a warm pair of socks on a cold February day out in the garden.
Express your feelings – in flowers: Send a coded message in a bouquet: gardenias mean ‘you’re lovely’, while a primrose says ‘I can’t live without you’.
