JULY 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

I held off publishing this photograph as I could not determine why there was an Chinese sign on the pillar. At the time I was on the other side of the street and did notice that there was a garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days ago I found the following: ” For the first time, one of our Limerick Tidy Towns monthly awards has gone to a private residence rather than a business. The award for June has gone to the owner of No 2, Tritonville, O\u2019Connell Avenue, for its beautiful little oriental garden which is a joy to behold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having already presented an award in February to Rebecca Leahy Opticians only two doors away, we normally wouldn\u2019t present two awards to premises so close together, but we simply couldn\u2019t overlook this beautiful little oriental garden which has been lovingly created by Kieran and his former tenants Sih Yu Chen-Found and her husband Paul Found. While small in size, it makes the most of every inch of space and greatly enhances the streetscape of O\u2019Connell Avenue. The garden is admired by anyone who walks by and indeed people have stopped to photograph it, so we simply couldn\u2019t have chosen a more worthy winner of our June award, especially while the sun was shining!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By way of background, Kieran says \u201cThe garden at Tritonville was put together early in 2016. My former tenant Sih-Yu is a great artist and designer and we were really lucky to have her as she was the creative mind behind everything. She also wrapped the tree on the street (which is kind of funky!) and painted the blue wave wall at the corner. She made the Chinese sign on the front wall which says \u201cO\u2019Donovan\u2019s House\u201d which is pretty cool! The garden was obviously just a yard to start and it was really just a bit of fun to see what we could do with it. Sih Yu is from Taiwan and we wanted to make it as oriental as possible with nods to Asian culture and philosophy. We used second hand materials where possible and once we got the stones, the bridge, the timber and the cavity blocks, it all came together quite quickly\u2026I love the wavy grass on the way in and the tiny pagoda! We added the bench recently so it\u2019s like a little oasis of calm!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
