When Irish design meets English gardens – a rare opportunity awaits
There’s something rather enchanting about September light, isn’t there? Whether it’s filtering through the ancient oaks of the Cotswolds or casting long shadows across a London terrace, this golden hour of the gardening year brings a particular clarity – about the pieces that truly matter, the investments that will transform our outdoor spaces for years to come.
Today, we’re sharing something extraordinary with our English customers. Something that doesn’t happen often in our world at Caragh Nurseries – and something you won’t find anywhere else in the UK.
Irish Design, English Gardens
Our exclusive Finn & Elder collection represents the very best of Irish craftsmanship, now available to discerning English gardeners for the first time. Each piece has been lovingly designed in-house at our County Kildare headquarters, born from an intimate understanding of how we truly live outdoors – not how we think we should live, but how we actually move through our spaces when no one’s watching.
Picture the gentle curve of an armrest that cradles your morning coffee just so, whether you’re overlooking the rolling hills of Yorkshire or a carefully manicured Surrey garden. Imagine the precise angle of a backrest that supports both animated dinner conversations and those precious moments of quiet reflection as the sun sets over your English rose borders.
These pieces understand the weight of permanence – furniture that will weather not just the unpredictable British seasons, but the decades of memories you’ll create around them.
Exclusively Yours Through Caragh Nurseries
You won’t find Finn & Elder in any English garden centre or furniture showroom. This collection lives solely within our world at Caragh Nurseries, where every piece is carefully curated to complement the natural beauty we’ve been cultivating for years across our Irish acres.
When you choose a Finn & Elder piece, you’re not just selecting furniture – you’re investing in a design philosophy that believes outdoor living should be as considered, as comfortable, and as beautiful as the finest interior spaces. It’s furniture that speaks the same language as our specimen trees and carefully planned borders, now available to transform English gardens with that same thoughtful approach.
The Collection That Speaks to English Sensibilities
The Dining Collection features tables crafted from sustainably sourced hardwood, with clean lines that complement both contemporary glass extensions and traditional stone terraces. The accompanying chairs offer ergonomic comfort that supports everything from leisurely Sunday lunches to intimate dinner parties under string lights.
The Lounging Series includes deep-seated armchairs and elegant chaise lounges, upholstered in weather-resistant fabrics that maintain their sophistication through English summers and winters alike. These are pieces that invite you to linger – with the morning papers, an evening gin and tonic, or simply the pleasure of watching your garden change through the seasons.
The Statement Collection comprises those show-stopping pieces – the sculptural benches, the architectural planters, the conversation-starting occasional tables – that transform good gardens into unforgettable ones.
Why Now? Why These Unprecedented Prices?
Here’s where we must be refreshingly honest with you, in the way that only a family business can be.
We don’t do sales. It’s simply not in our nature. Our pieces are priced fairly from the start, reflecting their true value – the premium materials, the meticulous craftsmanship, the design process that brings them to life.
But as we establish our presence in England, we find ourselves with a unique opportunity. Selected pieces from our Finn & Elder collection – some of which are the final examples of designs that won’t return – are available at prices we’ve never offered before.
This isn’t about clearing stock. It’s about introducing English gardens to furniture that understands the art of outdoor living, ensuring these carefully crafted pieces find their way to spaces where they’ll be treasured for generations.
The Pieces You’ve Been Dreaming Of
Perhaps it’s the dining set that would transform your patio into an al fresco dining room worthy of the finest restaurants. Maybe it’s the lounger that would turn your morning coffee ritual into a daily meditation. Or the statement piece that would make your garden the envy of the neighbourhood – the one guests photograph and ask about for months afterwards.
These reductions – some of the most significant we’ve ever offered – represent a rare moment when desire meets opportunity. When the piece you’ve been quietly coveting becomes not just attainable, but irresistible.
Delivered to Your Door
Our trained delivery team will bring your chosen pieces directly to your English garden, ensuring they arrive in perfect condition and are positioned exactly where you envision them. We understand that investing in quality outdoor furniture is about more than the purchase – it’s about the entire experience, from selection to installation.
A Moment That Won’t Return
Some of these pieces are the final examples of designs that have reached the end of their journey with us. Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. No special orders, no waiting lists, no “we’ll see if we can source another one.”
It’s rather like discovering the perfect specimen tree – when you see it, when you know it’s right, the moment to act is now. Gardens, like life, don’t wait for perfect timing.
