Title
Robinson Garden at Earlscliffe
Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- Apart from the superb view southwards across Dublin Bay to the Wicklow Mountains and eastwards along the coastline to the Baily lighthouse, the most notable feature about David Robinsons Garden at Earlscliffe is the large collection of tender plants that flourish here at 53.3° N. This is not the result of skilled plantsmanship but is due to the unusually favourable microclimate. The garden slopes to the south and benefits by being close to the sea and also from the 180 metre high Hill of Howth on its northern side. Advantage is taken of the auspicious situation to test the climatic hardiness of plants from all five continents. No plants are protected artificially even in the coldest weather so that realistic information on hardiness can be obtained.
