Introducing MINI, Our Head gardener

At Lough Rynn Castle Estate & Gardens, our Head Gardener, Mini, plays a central role in a sustainable, seasonal cycle that connects our historic gardens directly to the heart of our kitchen. Working closely with our culinary team, Mini plans and cultivates a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers in our Victorian walled gardens, ensuring that much of the produce used in our dishes is grown just steps from the kitchen. This collaboration not only guarantees freshness and flavour in every plate but also significantly reduces food miles and waste. Surplus produce is preserved or composted, feeding back into the soil to enrich future harvests. It’s a mindful, closed-loop system rooted in tradition, sustainability, and a shared passion for exceptional food.
