Idyllic scene from Irish Aggregates Show garden in Ballincollig, Cork

Irish Aggregates bills itself as a specialist processor of constructional and decorative aggregates. A bit of a mouthful, perhaps and probably doesn’t do justice to the poetic quality of their produce. (Find Irish Aggregates on the Map)

All the stone ornaments that you see in the photographs above and video below are provided by Irish Aggregates, including planters, tables and fountains.

I had so many good photos, that I decided to make a slideshow video from them.

One of the goals of this website is to highlight quality businesses in Ballincollig, that may be slightly off the beaten track. Their display area is not visible from the roadside, so unless someone told you about it, you could easily pass it by. Its well worth a visit, especially if you are interested into landscape gardening.

I was ambling along and came across this sign.

I had to investigate. So I followed the path.

Then I came upon this Oriental vision

And a jolly Buddha

Soon, I met a wise man and he bid me look for the disconsolate one

So, I set off in search and came upon this sign, which claimed to know the essence of my being. There is wisdom in this.

And then I found her, in most sorrowful repose.

I said. “What ails thee so?” She sighed and said she could not see the beauty in life. I said, ‘you only have to look around’.

She spoke of black birds following her.

Twas true. They eyed me with intent

I said fear not, and brought her to a nearby Inn

Whereupon, we merrily ensconsed ourselves and wondered at the beauty of it all

The above adventure took place in the award winning Griffins Garden Centre in Dripsey, just 10 minute drive from Ballincollig.
