Kilmacurragh Arboretum is a Noah’s Ark for our native wild flowers

Kilmacurragh’s gardeners champion native meadow and hedgerow in one of our most important repositories. Michèle Browne reports.

For those who love their gardens, there is a world of delight to be found on a 20 hectare (49 acres) estate in Kilbride, county Wicklow.

In fact, so special is its plant life, Kilmacurragh Arboretum has become an outpost of the National Botanic Gardens.
