Ireland's Gardens was conceived by Brian and Rose Cross out of a growing interest in garden visiting from overseas groups. This web site will help the tour operator and garden visitor alike to access a wide range of chosen quality gardens throughout Ireland.

The gardens chosen show a wide range of design and planting, ranging from large desmesnes to a suburban setting. With a mild climate, a wide range of plant material is grown. Many rare and exotic species thrive from all over the world. Tree ferns from Australia and New Zealand. Watsonias and Restios from South Africa and the rare Myosotidium from the Chatham Islands, all add to the diversity of plant material. Ireland's landscape is very picturesque and many of these gardens have been sited in chosen settings.

If you are interested in booking a holiday to Ireland's southwest coast, we can recommend Essence of Ireland. Their themed holidays to the region include a garden trail that takes in many of the gardens listed on this site.
