This is the entrance to the herb garden in the Letterkenny Town Park.  It is a nice and quiet place unfortunately some the herbs were pass their growing time and were probably picked.  I have no idea if someone oversees this garden or if people can pick from the garden when it is in bloom.  I would imagine they have permission.  It's a nice addition to the town park.
