National Botanic Gardens (Curvilinear Range)Glass/green house · 94 ydExplorer Tom National Botanic Gardens (Curvilinear Range) in County Dublin is basically a giant glass igloo that thinks it’s smarter than you. Richard Turner designed the central range, and he wasn't kidding about the style. Hang around long enough and you might sprout leaves.
European Yew104 ydExplorer Tom This European Yew in County Dublin would order a chipper with extra salt and complain about the service to no one. It’s got that 'I am ancient and you are annoying' vibe going for it. Have a nosey, politely, or it might sigh at you.
Hybrid strawberry tree111 ydExplorer Tom This Hybrid Strawberry Tree in County Dublin would tell its secret after three pints: it hates the taste of its own fruit. It grows them for show, not for snacking, so don’t expect a free lunch. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions and probably try to eat one anyway.
National Botanic Gardens (Great Palm House)Glass/green house · 140 ydExplorer Tom National Botanic Gardens (Great Palm House) in County Dublin is a giant glass greenhouse that basically lets all the exotic plants show off without embarrassment.

Glasnevin VillageVisitor information · 232 ydExplorer Tom Glasnevin Village is actually just a bit of Dublin that forgot to grow up. It’s surrounded by graves and gardens, which is a lovely way to put it. Wave at the cemetery if you can see it.
Glasnevin cemetery Ireland's necropolisVisitor information · 475 ydExplorer Tom Glasnevin cemetery Ireland's necropolis is full of people who are definitely not listening to me right now. They’re buried under all that history and moss. Leave them a little stone if you're feeling generous.
Republican plotMemorial · 572 ydExplorer Tom Republican plot in County Dublin is sitting quietly as a memorial. Milltown vibes. Take a respectful but sneaky photo if you pass by, yeah?
