Ginny,
I had a trip to Ireland last year with the "société nationale d'horticulture
de France" and we saw a lot of gardens during 5 days :
-Talbot Botanic Garden (north of Dublin) with many plants from Tasmania
- garden at Earlscliffe, BAILY, co. Dublin :view of Dublin Bay.
Collection of most tender plants
- Knockcree Garden, Glenamuck Road, CARRICKMINES, Dublin 18 : private
garden with collections of hardy geraniums, aquilegias, ferns.
- Powerscourt : the irish "Versailles" with huge italian terraces
- Mount Usher Gardens, ASHFORD, Co. Wicklow : famous robinsonian garden
with handkerchief trees, crinodendron, viburnums, rhododendrons, azaleas,
liriodendron, hebes, philadelphus and embothrium

- Butterstream Gardens, Kildalkey Road, TRIM, Co. Meath : Jim Reynolds
'garden, the irish Sissinghurst
All these gardens are situated in Dublin area.
Now forNorth Ireland , you can find :
- Rowallane Garden, Saintfield Ballynahinch : wellknown for the
ericaceas and penstemons national collection but these will not be flowering
by this time;
- Mount Stewart : tremendous one, another must !
- Gary Dunlop : I don't find his adress but it is a private garden which
holds the national collections of celmisias, crocosmias and euphorbias.
I have finished with this list and hope this will help you to make a choice.
Enjoy your trip
