If you love trees, this is an opportunity to visit every country in the world, by sampling the specimen trees here. Described as a "world class" collection, layed out along a mapped tree trail. A labyrinthine path guides you through woodland, riverside walk, over bridges, through herbaceous borders and themed garden "rooms". Shrubs, flowers, rhododendron, azalea, blue hydrangeas, river walk with gently cascading weirs. Recently expanded Avoca Cafe with plenty of outdoor seating, large garden centre, equestrian outdoor clothing and boutique shops.
Flowers are pure psychedelia in summer, flaming acers in autumn, woodland wild flowers in spring.

On my last day visiting family in Ireland, they took me to the absolute jewel that is Avoca Mount Usher — and what a way to end the trip.
The restaurant is beautiful, surrounded by the most gorgeous greenery, with that effortlessly charming Irish feel that makes you want to linger all day.
And then there were the oats. I am a serious oat fan, so I don’t say this lightly: these were next level. Truly some of the most exceptional oats I’ve ever had — simple, comforting, and somehow completely unforgettable.
A beautiful setting, wonderful food, and such a special final memory with family. Avoca Mount Usher is an absolute must. 🌿

We had a lovely time in these gardens on a drizzly Saturday. Theresa great selection of eucalyptus trees and other exotic species. We loved the blue hydrangeas in particular. The food in the cafe was nice, although the decor is looking a little tired.

A bit pricey, but a very beautiful park with an hour-long walk that ends with cake and a good coffee or tea in a relaxing setting. You can also buy plants there. I recommend it.

The next day I had afterimages of this garden. A very beautiful garden.
August is lovely too, but May is truly special and a delight with its colours

Excellent place to visit to see trees and plants from all over the world. €11 entry for adults. Tales around a hour to do the recommended trail.
