***********          The Botanic Gardens is located in Glasnevin on Dublin's  Northside         .***********


                                            The gardens were first owned by Thomas Tickell he was a poet . The estate was sold  And then given to the Royal Dublin
                 Society  in the year 1795.  The garden became the first botanic garden in Ireland.  There are vast amounts of trees shrubs and a vegetable 
                 garden  a museum  tropical plants and also a cafĂ© and theatre.  Large groups of tourists and local residents come to visit this beautiful
                 setting annually.   The reception area has books and leaflets with very informative information about the gardens'

                 There is also a side gate which leads into Glasnevin Cemetery where you can visit my page on this site.
                 I have included some photos of  the National Botanic Gardens for you  and hope your visit to the garden will be a memorable occasion
                 to look back on following your visit to Ireland.
