Roots and Rhythms: The Heritage and Revival of Danesmoate Gardens

This lecture is presented by The Irish Garden and Plant Society
Danesmoate Gardens, nestled in Dublin's Little Dargle River valley, boast a rich history spanning over two centuries.
Today, Danesmoate Gardens are celebrated for their diverse plantings, including an impressive collection of magnolias and rhododendrons. The estate's commitment to horticultural excellence is evident in its ongoing development, such as the recent addition of a redeveloped walled garden and newly installed glasshouse, reflecting the dedication of those who have nurtured this historic garden.
This talk will delve into the evolution of Danesmoate Gardens, highlighting the visionaries—from the Southwells to Adam Clayton and the team—whose efforts have shaped its legacy. We will explore the horticultural developments that have transformed the estate into a sanctuary of natural beauty it is today.
