As a result, the gardens showcase a marvellous collection of plants from around the world.
the National Botanic Gardens are beautifully laid out, with informal areas, river walks along the Tolka, woodlands and formal gardens. If itThe gardens of Birr Castle have been cultivated by the Parsons family since the 17th century. There are many Champion Trees .Another Robinsonian style garden, Altamont is a leafy paradise with a lake encircled by rare trees and shrubs. Lawns and winding paths lead down to the River Slaney. The arboretum is particularly good at this time of year.
Woodstock Gardens, Co Kilkenny; Glenveagh Castle Gardens, Co Donegal; Mount Stewart, Co Down; Bantry House, Co Cork; Derrynane House, Co Kerry; Belvedere House, Co Westmeath; Tullynally Castle, Co Westmeath; and Curraghmore House, Co Waterford.
