Dublin Botanic Gardens

July 25, 2012

Over the weekend, I took a trip to the Botanic Gardens over the weekend with my friend Julie. We were working out some logistics for a new project we’ve got cooking – lots to share in just a couple weeks! Julie is a magical photographer and snapped these few photos while we were there.

Julie’s a regular at the Botanic Gardens, but I had never been. It is amazing! Greenhouse after greenhouse, and sprawling gardens perfect for a Saturday afternoon wander. It’s free but only open regular business hours and weekends, so you’ll have to get there during the daytime.

Oddly enough, I had been to the iconic pub, Gravediggers, around the corner. Can you tell I’ve got a boy as my tour guide?! But since I’m making recommendations, do make sure to visit both! Grab a cake from the garden cafe and wander through the greenhouses. Then stop into Gravediggers for a pint – they’ve been serving them since 1833!

    Have you visited Glasnevin Cemetery, nearby? What did you think of it, if you have. I kind of consider cemeteries to be like parks – not in a morbid way, just a celebrate the past kind of way 🙂 Is the trek out there worth visiting the three? And if we have a car is there ample parking? (Suppose we were on our way to drop car back off at the airport).

    Hello! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.

    Does running a well-established blog like yours take a large amount of work?
    I’m brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my journal daily.
    I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and feelings online.

    Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips
    for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
