Location

National Botanic Garden of Ireland – Kilmacurragh

A photo of the entrance to National Botanic Gardens of Ireland, Kilmacurragh, Co Wicklow. From left to right, gentle, golden sun shines on a pink Rhododendron tree. The tree is round and dappled with green in-between the overall deeper red and pink colours. Towards the right there are tall, thinner trees also standing in the sun. They are a dark, deep green with pointy, sharp leaves. The foreground is in a shadow, a path divided the trees and marks a walkway through the park.
Exclusive after hours walking tour with Head Gardener, Seamus O’Brien, who will share what drove the passion for rhododendrons and how they became such a fashionable plant in Victorian times during Kilmacurragh’s golden era of plant introductions.
