Open/Botanical Garden/place of horticultural interest
Isle of Wight,
United Kingdom 
I'm having a girly weekend well from Friday til Monday, this weekend and I am going to Cork, Crosshaven and Kinsale in County Cork Ireland. Does anyone know of any open gardens or horticultural places of interest that may be open during this time?
