Garden in Lucan and Pettycanon, County Dublin

What is recorded here

Botanical gardens containing many rare and special plants, established in the 1950s. Stone walled garden covering flat ground sloping down to east. Ornamental objects and gate piers present.

This garden was established by the current owners of the house and is of importance not only due to the rare and beautiful plants that have been grown, but also for the contribution it makes to the setting of the house.
