"Ennis-born Dorothea Madden came to work in Dromoland Castle’s gardens in 1989, and other than a brief six-month interval spent in the USA, she has worked there ever since, becoming head gardener within a few years of her arrival. Madden has played an important role in transforming Dromoland Castle’s gardens over those 23 years, and says that her proudest achievement is the part she played in the restoration of two of Dromoland’s three walled gardens, especially the flower-filled walled garden next to Dromoland’s golf clubhouse. The fact that it’s narrow stone entrances were inaccessible to heavy machinery meant that the site had to be cleared by hand. “It was infested with briars but we hand-dug every inch of it,” Madden remembers."
