Europe's Finest Japanese Gardens

Located just outside Kildare (Tully) created between the years 1906-1910. By Colonel William Hall-Walker (later Lord Wavertree), a wealthy Scotsman of a famous brewery family and laid out by the Japanese Eida and his son Minoru.

The gardens in Kildare are acclaimed as the finest Japanese Gardens in Europe,
and are a living monument to the meeting of Eastern and Western cultures in a Western setting. The symbolism of life, the garden portrays, traces the journey of a soul from Oblivion to Eternity and the human experience of its embodiment as it journeys by paths of its own choice through life.

Typical ambitions toward education, marriage, or a contemplative or carefree life, achievement, happy old age and a gateway to Eternity are portrayed.
Furthermore as an example of Japanese Gardening of its period, it is perfect - a Japanese Garden with a hint of Anglicisation about it, was precisely the type of garden being made in Japan at that time.

St Fiachra`s Millennium Garden

Woodlands, wetlands, lakes and islands. It features monastic cells of fissured limestone surrounded by water. The inner subterranean garden, which lies within the main monastic cell is of Waterford Crystal shaped rocks and plants such as ferns and orchids, lit by fibre optics.

This garden is dedicated to St. Fiachra - the Patron Saint of Gardeners.
The garden seeks to capture the power of the Irish landscape in it's rawest state... that of rock and water.
