National Botanic Gardens Kilmacurragh, Botanical garden in County Wicklow, Ireland.

The National Botanic Gardens Kilmacurragh extends across 52 acres, featuring an extensive collection of rare trees and shrubs from around the world.

Established in 1712 on the Acton family estate, the gardens developed through collaboration with the directors of Dublin's Botanic Gardens during the 19th century.

The gardens preserve a Queen Anne style house built in 1697 using stones from a dissolved monastery founded by Saint Mochorog in the 7th century.

Located 3 kilometers from the N11 Dublin to Wexford Road, the gardens offer free admission and remain open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM.

The gardens maintain the national rhododendron collection and provide optimal growing conditions for species that cannot thrive in Dublin's Glasnevin gardens.
