Brigits Garden

Recreation
30 mins
This beautiful, themed garden in the Connemara region has been a favourite for many over the years. Brigit’s Garden is designed to symbolise the four Celtic festivals and does a great job in representing the cycle of life, from conception all the way to death. The garden prides itself on having a biodiversity tag and does so through the help of the stunning Connemara landscape. Brigit’s Garden is intended to bring you on an amazing journey whilst walking through the four gardens: Samhain (sow-en) – The first garden represents the winter season. Samhain, also known as Halloween, marked the beginning of a new calendar year for the early Celtic people. This garden has a very tranquil and relaxed theme to it as it is designed to show the earth resting before the busier seasons arrive and new life starts to form. A river bank in the shape of a sleeping lady does a good job in representing this. When the summer time comes around, the bank blossoms with beautiful flowers and creates an amazing visual, site. Imbolc (Im-ulk) – The second garden represents the spring season. This Celtic festival falls on the 1st February which is now known as St. Brigit’s Day which whom the Garden is named after. The spring season details the birth of new life and symbolises the earth re-awakening from its sleep. Wildflower meadows and gorgeous orchard trees fill the garden and set a very calm but happy atmosphere. Bealtaine (Belt-an-a) – The third garden represents the summer season. This festival is all about the celebration of the warm weather arriving and half the year passing. This gardens theme is love and is set out to promote new lovers and marriages. The flame figure sculptures do a good job in highlighting this theme a long with all the simple, but stunning wildflowers. The garden also contains a throne which is fit for any man or woman to proclaim themselves as king or queen, even if only for ten minutes. Lughnasa (Loo-na-sa) – The fourth and final garden is built to represent the autumn theme. For the Celts, this time was all about celebrating and partying as it marked the beginning of the harvest season and the transition from summer to autumn. This garden has two interlinked stone circles which would be where the Celts celebrated and feasted. This is the time of year to give thanks and the Celts would start to prepare for the Earths long awaited rest. This represents death, meaning the cycle is now complete.

Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!

Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create. | However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic. Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY. | Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans." | This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic. | If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!
