Dublin Gardens - Mount Usher Gardens

This lovely “Robinsonian” – i.e. informal – garden, laid out along the Vartry River, measures 8ha and dates back to around 1850. The river is spanned by suspension bridges, from which numerous waterfalls and superb views can be enjoyed. 

There are approximately 5000 different species of plants, shrubs and trees, originating from many parts of the world. The extensive collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias and camellias is exceptionally colourful in spring. There are also those shrubs and trees, planted precisely for their display of berries and glorious foliage, to be admired in the autumn.
