Review

The National Garden Exhibition Centre here in Kilquade, County Wicklow is a gardeners idea of pure heaven. With over 15,000 different plants spread over 20 separate gardens you could spend as little or as long as you like here, such is the greatness of this, one of Ireland's many hidden gems. The entrance fee is only a small nominal charge really, on par with other Irish attractions it really is great value for money. Although I am not really a garden lover, in fact I would go as far as to say I don't have green fingers whatsoever, but I do have a love for visiting garden centres, but this place is in a class of its own! The exhibition centre also has a really good cafe called the Beech Tree, so you don't have to worry at all about lunch, the cafe has all tastes and appetites catered for.
