Like all the great
gardens of Ireland, Mount Usher offers varying pleasures at
different seasons of the year. Rhododendrons in Spring, a blaze of
Summer colour and the wistful tints of Autumn, all elegantly set off
by the crystal waters of the river.
In addition to the Gardens, Mount Usher offers a comprehensive home
produced menu in the Avoca Garden Cafe, as well as a Shopping
Courtyard which is open all year round. Ample car parking and coach
spaces are available and the Gardens are within easy reach of
Dublin.
