Powerscourt formal gardens

Does anyone know if there will be any flowers in bloom the middle of May at Powerscourt Garden? Thinking of going there on our 8 day trip - but if the flowers aren't in bloom - it may not be a good idea for this trip. Any ideas?

Why not just give them a call close to your trip or when you get to Ireland and find out what's blooming?

We were there around mid-May and found it very enjoyable. If you are not too far away I would include it but if the balance of your trip is far removed from Powerscourt you will have to determine how important it is to you.

I was there in late May and there was plenty blooming. The gardens are beautiful even without flowers though - some of them are not flower focused anyway (such as the Asian style gardens, or the pet cemetery!).
