A group of around 60 IGPS members recently enjoyed an exciting visit to the garden of Conrad McCormick in Ballycastle (see @thatbotanicguy on Instagram). A lush, tropical-looking oasis in what is a largely exposed location. Conrad grows a vast range of plants, including a plethora of succulents which many visitors remarked upon. See some highlights below courtesy of Maeve Bell and Andrew Gee.
