- If you love cute cottage and period decor, then this video is a treat for you. Join me as I head to the West of Ireland. I visited the Hometree Farm Charity HQ in County Clare to learn about planting native Irish trees and prep seeds. Matt, the founder, gave us a few words, so I hope you find the information interesting.
We stayed in the Armada House Hotel in Spanish Point, and the beach where I did a sunrise sea swim in Clare was across from the Armada Hotel.
The adorable garden centre with the cutest gift shop is called The Cottage Garden Centre and is about 10 minutes from Spanish Point and not too far from Miltown Malbay.

It's obvious that you and your friends had a great time on this trip (so much giggling 😄)
The hotel was beautiful, and helping to plant the trees must have been so rewarding. And, of course, it wouldn't be a Dainty video without animals. 🐈🐄🐴
Thank you for taking us along!
So happy you enjoyed it! X have a lovely weekend
What a fun adventure that helps the native plants and animals in your native country!! Cheers to that!
Thanks for watching, have a lovely weekend x
I love how Ireland has such adorable shops tucked away in unexpected places!
Me too! Hidden gems x
Such a beautiful hotel! Thank y’all for helping plant a new forest !
The seed collection and learning about nature preservation, rewilding and how beautifully unique each part of the country is was really inspiring, thank you 😊
Yes, I found it really interesting, I would love to be able to identify more trees, the chap did say to learn to identify the leaves x
You are such a breath of fresh air ,there are so many RUclipsrs trying to something they are not and you are just real and honest and your a pleasure to watch . Thanks for your videos they always make me smile ❤
🤗 you are so kind, thank you x
That view DaintyGirl- even if it’s just a cow peein pasture with an ocean view. Sigh….gorgeous 💙💚💚💙
This was so much fun! I laughed so much during the hotel room tour, you guys are awesome
Never a dull moment 🤣
I love your relationship with your friends
Hi Catherine this was a lovely and quaint place. The place where you stayed was beautiful
Thank you for sharing. ❤
My pleasure 😊
How fun to go away with friends and stay in such a beautiful period home. The sea is so fabulous!
The sea was so wild and relaxing x
"THE RAIN HAS COME TO STAY IN SPAIN" Loved the video👍A big hug from Madrid❤
What a lovely hotel and what a good cause to voluntieer your time and talents!
The tree nursery is such a great thing. Looks like you had a great time.
Soo much fun Amy, have a lovely weekend ❤️
Kitten naps are the Best!!!❤❤❤
Wow, you guys found some beautiful places and shops. And the shops were absolutely stuffed with things to see. I love the tree place. How awesome that they're growing and planting native plants. I'm glad you giggly girls had such a good time but I bet it was good to be home with the kitties. Great video!
Yes, was so nice to get home to the kittens, a nap was had on the couch when I arrived home x have a lovely weekend
Sometimes we take trees for granted and walk by without a thought so this is such a great scheme
Trees are the best way to help wildlife I have planted a tree for every child born in my family no room left in. My garden so I plant them locally now all natives
Absolutely! It was super special 🥹♥️
Were I live in Canada, they have destroyed so many trees and vegetation to built massive 50 storey condos and apartments, they have no remorse in chopping down 50 year old beautiful trees and plants, it is so sad to see. So it is nice to see people that care about our environment of trees and plants and the beautiful land and sea where you are staying and volunteering. So uplifting to see people building trees instead of plowing them down without any care. Very depressing to see so many trees and 10 condos being built in a 3 block radius. Wonderful experience for you.
@@darlenechandler2403 where I live in the uk in Manchester 1/2 mile from city centre it's just row upon row of apartment blocks luckily I have an edwardian park but that's it too think it will get worse is a travesty
What an inspiration that young man is, 20,000 trees.! The view from your room was beyond lovely, cows and seaside, horses would have made it over the top 😊
Here in the states we do the Polar Bear Plunge, held in Feb to raise money. Hope you and the kittens have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you so much, love the sound of your polar plunge! X
Good morning,
I am lucky enough to live near The cottage garden centre at The Hand Hill in county Clare. It’s wonderful and the family who run it are very knowledgeable about all things gardening. It’s lovely to see my area being shown. 🙏
Ooh you’re so lucky living there! It’s a fab area 😍😍
I just re-watched the hotel-giggling scene 😂😂😂... "The step-up on to the bed" 🤣🤣
You girls make me laugh, ya'll are so fun.
This is your reminder lol ....
I'm on a binge watch of all your old videos...and it's nearly the end of April....go outside and grab your Yarrow!
haha! Thank you!
Hi Catherine! I love the giggles and how you're keeping it real by having Supermacs when staying in a swanky place :D
Thank you for taking me along on your travels again, very informative and loved the scenery.
Glad you enjoyed it 😍🍁
Thank you for the lovely vacation. I needed a little fun.🌲🌺🌲

So nice to see you and your friends have such a lovely time!...thank you for sharing Catherine, your two new kitties are doing so very well with you...God Bless.
I love those little birds for Christmas about 5 minutes into your video. They are so cute.
I wanted to be there, with you 4 sweet girls, y’all were having such an adventure
It was a ball 😍 always the best craic 🥹
Absolutely joyful video😁I watched it this morning and the giggles with the girls,the lovely decor,especially the duck egg birdcage wallpaper,the sea and the plants and best of all,your lovely self have cheered me up😁
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for a little look around County Clare from Australia. This is the home of my ancestors on my Mother's paternal side. Lovely to see. ❤️
Aw glad you enjoyed it, have a lovely weekend x
You two really had the giggles😅
What fun you ladies are 🩷🩷🩷 beautiful places
Such an interesting and fun video, Catherine. Thanks for sharing 😊
That was a beautiful video something a little different. And the ending with the fur babies was so adorable ❤
Thank you! 😊
What a lovely part of Ireland
Loved this, think you and the guy with the long hair would be the perfect partner for you 🥰
Great video, love the words from the Dalia Lama ❤
I thought of the nursery rhyme ending with roll over roll over 😂
What a wonderful and rewarding experience ☺🌱
Its so lovely all along that coastline of Clare, that little garden centre looked like a little hidden gem reminds me of Jolys out in Wicklow! 🥰
You and Karen and your pals had a lovely time and had great fun in the hotel and loved seeing all the lovely garden displays. Cheers from Donegal also nyc
I always love your vlogs but this one was awesome, fun and beautiful.❤
Those green ceramic houses…!!!
Aren''t they fab! X
Thank you for your inspiration
What a nice interesting video loved it all thank you so much hope you get plenty of rest with your cute kittens you all have a wonder rest of the week I'll see you all Sunday ❤.
See you Sunday! X
I love watching your videos so much! I went through a spell where I wasn't watching RUclips (like 4 months), and I just finished catching up a couple of days ago. Watching you gives me the same feeling of when I'm video chatting with my long-distance friends (which is all of them now) or my little sister who also lives far away now. I've always been drawn to Ireland since I was a little girl, and it kind of feels like when you call home because your homesick and need a little pick-me-up!
Aww, happy you had a nice break from RUclips! It is nice to take social media breaks, and you can always catch up on your favourites
We went right by Spanish point on our travels in 2017. So beautiful
Beautiful water view.
Aw wow! Gorgeous ❤❤ I wanna get lost in that shop! Soooo many gorgeous things...I'd leave bankrupt! Those hedgehogs, chickens...❤❤❤❤
It was hard to resist 🤣🤣
I traveled down to Ennis in county Clare for my daughters Irish dancing championships years ago was beautiful countryside have also been to balbriggan and swords :)
What a fun adventure! Hello Matt Smith!
Lovely video Catherine. How nice to get away and do something different. 👍
Fun video and really enjoyed the room tours and laughter. Not much on planting trees.... I live out in the country with woods/trees all around. 🤣 Actually we are thinking of cutting a few large pines.. they can be very dangerous in hurricane season. 🌀 😮 I do love the sound of a light breeze in the leaves. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you for sharing this video. I always enjoy your adventures, but this one inspires me even more. I work as a volunteer coördinator for a nature preservation organisation, and last monday I actually had a meeting in my team to get the ball rolling for next year to organize days for the general public to come and help out for a day. Seeing another organisation doing it succesfully is great. Thanks again.
So happy it gave you inspiration, the company might have more information on their website, I know they are a charity so a lot of their info is public x
@@DaintyDiaries thank, I'll definitely have a look at their website.
I enjoyed your visit. It looked like a lot of fun. Maybe if I win the lottery.😉 Keep your videos coming. Cheeky 👍👍👍👍👍
That view from your room was absolutely gorgeous! I loved going on this adventure with you❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, have a lovely weekend x
Lovely!💕💕💕
Lovely time you had and such a nice thing to do. Too bad about your boots rubbing your ankles. Maybe heavy socks would help. Your dress was lovely. Beautiful place you stayed in. And the wonderful greenery and the horses.
What a lovely place. And, how wonderful to have the kittens to come home to. I know they were happy to see you too.
P.S. I've named my tuxedo kitten Beag. She's so little and sweet and needed a special name. The name Beag fits her perfectly. So now there's a little Texan kitten with an Irish name. Thank you for that!
Awwww amazing 🥹♥️ that’s so so cute! Sounds like such a cutie ♥️
The eyes on that horse were beautiful 🐎🧡 🐴
Beautiful
This was probably my favorite video of all time. Everything about it spoke to me. If that was a work trip, how do I get that job? I loved the mission of the foundation. I literally loved every moment. It was a total escape. Thank you. Keep doing good doing good.
Glad you enjoyed it and it resonated with you x
What a beautiful place!
Have a lovely weekend, glad you enjoyed it x
What a lovely place to spend a couple of days! Did you leave one of your books with them? Thanks for contributing to replenishing the woodlands❤️✨
Aw I didn't, Im actually running out of copies, I need to re stock x
Absolutely amazing,I feel so close to Ireland and the Irish at a deep soul level more than likely because my grandparents came over to Scotland form Ireland,it’s in my dna ,I love everything Irish
That’s so sweet 🥹 I hope you’ve gotten to visit or can visit Ireland some day ♥️
Wow what a beautiful place. In my next life i wanna stay in ireland🎉🎉thanx for making us part of your trip❤
Aw thanks for watching ♥️♥️
I have always wanted to visited Ireland so thanks for getting me closer than I will probably ever get.. and, oh, that tortie cat was beautiful .. kitties just gravitate to you ❤️❤️
The kitties are the best 🥹♥️
Helloooo 😂, you two are so lovely together. Everything is so beautiful in the Hotel, and I could have bought everything in the little garden center but most of all the water jug with the donkey on it, thanks for this, it was a joy to watch ❤️
I want to let you know how much I enjoy watching your videos. I am a 70 year old woman from Canada. I enjoy you taking us along on all you trips. Thanks to your videos I have been creating my own little garden in my backyard. Keep up the good work. Much love from Canada ❤️
Me too, same as you age and Canada and love her energy and her many talents and have been watching er videos for a very very long time. So sweeet
That is really kind ladies, thank you x
That first garden center had everything!❤
❤❤❤I am reading on plants this Autumn as well the meaning of certain flowers in Florograhy 😊Thanks for sharing 👍
Oh I love this, I have heard of Florography but haven't read much into it, it sounds really interesting x
A very lovely and informative video. Really enjoyed it. 😊🇨🇦❤️
Thanks so much! 😊 have a lovely weekend
Loved, loved, loved this video for so many reasons; and on so many levels. I thank you and your partners in crime (both human and furry) for bringing life and love into our homes. By the way, the telephone handset (12:27) . . . never mind!
Thank you
Ladies, your giggles are contagious; my face hurts from laughing! Wonderful video.
xoxo's Sandie
It's awesome that you are helping plant trees in Ireland. I have been doing that here in my state in USA too. 🌳🌲🌎🌍
I almost want more kittens.😍🐈⬛ I have a not so sociable adult male cat. He doesn't want to share his territory.
That was fun!!
What a great fun trip! I know you and Karen had a great time! What beautiful scenery there!
Thank you so much for this relaxing video, I enjoyed every second ! ❤ It was so interesting to see another part of your home country and you girls having so much fun 😍👍🏼
What a beautiful hotel you stayed in! I loved the decor, especially the wallpaper.
What a lovely bedroom my lady. Very interesting great views. Love the book take home your poem . Enjoyed thanks for sharing. Catch you Sunday .Keep smiling 😊😊
What a lovely video Catherine I could’ve went mad buying stuff in that garden centre it was like a treasure trove the hotel was gorgeous and the scenery was stunning ,love little updates on the kittens my daughter has two cats and I showed her your video she said they are adorable one of her cats lies above her head every night have a lovely weekend look forward to Sundays video 😊❤
Well I’m not sure what your thinking on the bench at the end of the bed…but we all know it’s to sit and put your shoes on. 🤣😂🤣
Yes, exactly for sitting to put your shoes on x
Really enjoyed the giggles….
Gorgeous decor in the hotel.
Spectacular views. I could simply dream the day away. What a wonderful experience to plant for future generations. Thank you for sharing.
It was so much fun! ♥️ thanks for watching xx
What a lovely video Catherine. Thanks for always capturing gorgeous places in Ireland. I’m from Australia and Ireland is on my list to travel 😊. The room tour was so funny love it 😂. Also, I love your denim dungarees and white long sleeve top. May I ask where did you get them both from? I love your autumnal outfits 😊🤎
Aw, thanks, I got them dungarees from Very.ie
I love to go to this kind of places. So much to see. The seed storage box was very inspiring 👍 You had a lot of fun in the hotel. I had to laugh as well 😂 A more serious topic was when you asked the guy about climate change and he mentioned that he hardly sees grasshoppers. There are loads of them in my garden and the birds that like to feed on them followed. We used to have many butterflies here but this year only a few. Lovely video to watch inside the warm house 🏡 while it was very stormy 🌬💨 outside. Have a nice weekend 🐈💕🐈
such a good video, i love watching your stuff whilst i paint ❤❤❤
Believe it or not but you'll only find the Atlantic Ocean off Ireland's west coast. West of Ireland is amazing I do agree 👍
Does the Atlantic touch the east coast of America too?
How absolutely beautiful, looking out to see the ocean. The furnishings are gorgeous! Lovely video, Catherine.
Thank you so much Valerie, have a lovely weekend x
What a lovely place Hometree is and they're doing such important work. It's great to get involved to give mother nature a helping hand. She's had a very rough year😢
The hotel rooms looked so comfy. That book was a great find. So interesting to hear about yarrow. I bought 2 plants (pink and red) at the end of season sale this year. The bees love them! And how cute are those kittens 😍
The shenanigans you twoget up too 😂😂😂 had to pause the video as I was laugh crying during the room tour, classic 😂
Beautiful garden shops, so many great things to have. I laughed so much at your tour of you room! What a wonderful event for you and Karen. Thank you Catherine and for a peek at the kittens at closing.
Happy you enjoyed this video Dorothy x have a lovely weekend!
What a wonderful video. Beautiful country home love all the rooms. Know everyone had a great time. Catherine your a born farm girl. Driving the 4 wheeler full of mulch. Great questions for the cute Farm Manager. Their garden center was full of healthy plants and lovely plant decor. You didn't show us your purchases. Home and your sweet kittens missed you. Thanks for the trip.
Thanks for sharing your sweet trip with us. ❤❤❤
Tree man was interesting. Looks like a good w/e was b had by all😊
How lovely!!! I could get into big trouble at the Cottage Garden Center! That was a beautiful hotel!
That was an interesting trip, you both. I felt very close to you ,and I loved it that you had so much fun. The young man is adorable. And the shop is so lovely. Great video. Thank you for taking us with you, girls.❤
So happy you enjoyed it, have a lovely weekend x x
“No, no, she’s mad, we’d die”😂😂😂. I’m still laughing
