Description

Saint Fiachra’s Garden

The Patron Saint of Gardeners

In 1999 the Irish National Stud created a commemorative garden to St. Fiachra, Patron Saint of Gardeners, to celebrate the Millennium. It was designed by Professor Martin Hallinan, award winning landscape architect. He created a garden which presents visitors with a similar natural environment to that which inspired the spirituality of the monastic movement in Ireland during the 6th and 7th centuries.

The garden seeks to capture the power of the Irish landscape in it's rawest state... that of rock and water. The garden is within a natural setting of 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, is lit by fibre optics.

The entrance to the garden is via an underground stone passage, which takes the visitor beneath the earth into the inner garden, another world of woodland and lakes, which seeks to capture the power of the Irish landscape using rock and water.
