The island of Ireland is divided into four provinces.
Those four provinces are divided up into thirty two counties.
These regions have nicknames.
For example:
Armagh: The Orchard County
Clare: The Banner County
Kerry: The Kingdom
Meath: The Royal County
Wicklow where we live is called The Garden County
because of its beautiful scenery.
The photo at the top of this post is of a beautiful garden
near where we go to school in Wicklow.
It is called Killruddery.
You can read more about Killruddery here.
We enjoy experimenting with photo editing tools.
