How My Family Fell in Love With Ireland’s Grand Hotels, Falconry, and the World’s Best Bread and Butter

"A restorative green space in Dublin prized for its herbaceous borders and plant collections, it impressed a lifelong gardener and provided inspiration (notably for coleus varieties later potted at home). The gardens are also depicted as a comfortably low‑pressure place where visitors can linger — even nap on a bench after travel — while exploring thoughtfully planted displays." - Peter Terzian Peter Terzian Peter Terzian is the features editor of Travel + Leisure, where he has been on staff since 2017.
