Lodge Park Walled Garden & Steam Museum

Kildare

Lodge Park Walled Garden is available for wedding photographs when open to the general public.

The restoration of this eighteenth-century walled garden adjoining Lodge Park, a Palladian house of 1773, started in 1980. The old brick-faced walls look much as they did when it was built, and here fruit, flowers, and vegetables are grown for the house. The garden is divided into different sections but the design is dictated by the long, box-edged axis path with regularly spaced clipped yew trees. It comprises a south-facing shrub border, herbaceous border, different coloured gardens, vegetable area, and a rosarie which is at its best in June and July.

The garden specialises in many unusual and tender plants that thrive in the areas uniquely western latitude microclimate.
