The brand new ‘easy access’ visitor carpark which offers space for 74 cars has now been officially opened at Mount Congreve Gardens in County Waterford alongside a brand new ‘Veg Box’ subscription now available.
Since its official re-opening in March 2023, works have also been ongoing in restoring the gardens at Mount Congreve and some of the buildings within the gardens including the Georgian Glasshouse, Pagoda and Summer House amongst other projects.
Now, as summer 2024 takes hold, the first fruits of this labour are coming to bear as the Walled Garden is back producing many of the vegetables and fruits for use in the Stables Café plus for those who would like a monthly box of fresh and seasonal fruits and vegetables a brand new 4-week subscription will be available from the end of June to the end of October
Each seasonal vegetable box contains 7-9 items that are grown and picked using natural and chemical-free principles; with each box containing a selection of the following: Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Squash, Courgettes, Carrots, Beetroot, Spinach, Rocket, Cabbage, Broccoli, Lettuce, Curly kale, Cavolo nero (dark kale), Scallions, Asian greens, Kohl rabi, Radish, Brussels sprouts, Leeks, Onion, Garlic, Potato, and Purple Topped Turnip and Herbs. The box provides enough vegetables for a family of three-four people for a week. To support sustainability, vegetables will be packaged in a crate that Mount Congreve kindly asks you to return each week. Every subscription also includes a pot of Mount Congreve Jam or Honey.
Commenting on the ongoing works and completed Sara Dolan Commercial Director at Mount Congreve Gardens says, “We are delighted to be now able to offer visitors a very easily accessible car parking solution and we know this will make a difference to those who may just be dropping by for lunch or a shopping trip, along with families too".
The gardens at Mount Congreve are located just 10 minutes from Waterford City and are now open 7 days per week. For further details and to sign up for a new Mount Congreve Gardens Veg Box subscription see www.mountcongreve.com or https://mountcongreveshop.ie/collections/veg-boxes
