Woodstock House and Gardens - Historical Sites
Woodstock House, now a ruin, was for generations the home to the Tighe family. In 1737, the twenty-six-year-old Sir William Fownes inherited the estate and commissioned an elegant mansion, completed in 1745. He hoped to establish himself with the gentry of the area and to impress the 2nd Viscount Duncannon, soon to become the first Earl of Bessborough, whose daughter Elisabeth he planned to marry. Over the next forty-five years, Woodstock was the background to a series of dramas that led to the deaths of William, Elisabeth and their son-in-law William Tighe.
Many gardens and walks were laid out between 1840 and 1900 by another William Tighe and his wife Lady Louisa Lennox. The gardens contain many exotic plants from Asia and South America, including the Monkey Puzzle tree and the Noble Fir tree which form two of the walks in the gardens, as well as specimens of the Coast Redwood.
In 1921, the property was occupied by the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries, which caused much local resentment, and then by troops of the Free State Army, who were withdrawn from the premises during the Irish Civil War, on 1 July 1922. The house, left unguarded, was burnt down the next day, and remains a derelict empty shell, overgrown with vegetation. The grounds are being restored by Kilkenny County Council and are open to the public.
Also known as the Pleasure Grounds, the Arboretum at Woodstock was the focus of a considerable amount of exotic tree planting during the 19th Century.
Today the arboretum is dominated by conifers, notably Pinus montezumae var hartwegi, (Hartweg’s pine), Sequoia sempervirens (Coast Redwood), Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese Cedar), Sequoia dendron giganteum (Giant Redwood), Chamaecyparis pisifera (Sawara cypress), Thuja standishii (Japanese Arbor-vitae) and Thuja plicata ‘Zebrina’ (Golden Variegated Western Red Cedar) to name a few. In addition to the conifers are several other notable trees including Fagus sylvatica ‘Pendula’ (Weeping beech – Irish Clone), Castanea sativa (Sweet Chestnut), Quercus ilex (Holm Oak), Luma apiculata (Chilean myrtle), Crinodendron hookerianum (Chilean Lantern Bush).

Goodbye Riley Park Library
The storefront Riley Park branch of the Vancouver Public Library closed its doors on Sept. 17, 2011 after 30 years of excellent community service.
However, this is a library closing story with a silver lining. Riley Park makes way for the neighbouring ultra-modern Terry Salman branch at the Hillcrest Centre, opening Oct. 13, 2011.

Woodstock Farm Park Bellingham Washington - Now The Farm Is City Owned For Everyone To Enjoy
We revisit Woodstock Farm in Bellingham Washington this time with a video camera to capture improvements and to check out the views of Chuckanut Bay and the BNSF train tunnel.
When the city of Bellingham bought Woodstock Farm for $2.9 Million Dollars it wasn't clear what they would actually do with it, they just wanted to keep it from being purchased privately and get developed with family homes.
The property makes a great homesite but it needs other improvements to make it into a major attraction as a regional park or even to host Weddings and other events.
Right now there are only 4 parking spaces, or actually 2 spaces and a backing up area that can also hold two other cars in a bind.
Woodstock Farm is located on Chuckanut Bay just south of Fairhaven and Edgemoor. It is worth visiting just to see what it has to offer but right now there isn't much to see because the homes are not currently open to the public.
This video is an original work created with video and photos taken at the Woodstock Farm Park in Bellingham Washington. The titles, graphics and special effects were created on my computer with video editing software. All Rights Reserved.
