  ✨Situated in Glasnevin, the National Botanic Gardens are home to a wide variety of plant life. The 19.5 hectares are also home to a river that runs through the gardens, adding to the natural beauty of the area.

 ✨The gardens were established in 1795 by the Dublin Society and are currently managed by the State through the Office of Public Works.

 ✨The Botanic Garden boasts a diverse range of 20,000 living plants and millions of dried plant specimens from across the globe. There are several architecturally notable greenhouses

 ✨Not only are the gardens a beautiful tourist destination and an amenity for the local residents, but they also serve as a center for horticultural research and training – including the breeding of many different types of prized orchids. And the best part is that entry is free!
