Trinity College Botanic Gardens

The gardens provide living plant material, controlled growth environments, glasshouses and other experimental facilities for botanical research. The gardens were established at Dartry in 1966/67 following multiple moves since their origin as a Physic garden on Trinity’s main campus in 1687 for medical teaching. The gardens today house the Irish Rare and Threatened Plant Genebank, circa 5000 species in the living collections, four heated glasshouses, three unheated glasshouses, one poly-tunnel, walk-in controlled environment chambers, low-temperature growth facilities, experimental plots including open-top chambers, growing beds including systematic garden and arboretum, potting shed and ancillary facilities. Zoological facilities including research mesocosms and a birdhouse are also located within the gardens.
