Gardens open to visit
Real gardens across the island, from walled demesnes to one-family plots — with when to catch them at their best.
Heywood Gardens
These gardens feature walks, woodland, lakes a romantic landscape and Gothic follies with a formal centrepiece commissioned by the Hutcheson Poë family and designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Iveagh Gardens
Tucked away behind the National Concert Hall, the Iveagh Gardens are among the finest, but least known, of Dublin’s parks and gardens.
Kilgar Gardens
Three acres of individual garden rooms, with formal parterres, rose and kitchen gardens, woodland, a pond and a number of mixed borders, all beautifully presented by a gardener of great talent.
Killyreagh Gardens
A mixture of herbaceous borders and shrubs surround the lawn sweeping down to a small pond and wooded area with camellias, magnolias and other interesting shrubs and trees.
