Beautiful Mount Congreve Gardens Waterford
Waterford is home to Mount Congreve gardens which are a shining testament to the commitment and creativity of the late Ambrose Congreve. He passed away at the wonderful age of 104 in May 2011.
The award winning garden is world renowned and consists of over 70 acres of woodland planting and a 4 acre walled garden overlooking the river Suir.
Fortunately we visited these gardens in April 2012 before they were closed to the public.
Ambrose Congreve has left these outstanding gardens to the State for everyone's enjoyment however legal issues are being sorted out between the OPW and the Congreve Trust - hopefully they will be resolved sooner rather than later.

As well as being a tourist destination and an amenity for nearby residents, it also serves as a centre for horticultural research and training, including the breeding of many prized orchids.
The soil at Glasnevin is strongly alkaline (in horticultural terms) and this restricts the cultivation of calcifuge plants such as rhododendrons to specially prepared areas. Nonetheless, the gardens display a range of outdoor habitats such as a rockery, herbaceous border, rose garden, bog garden and arboretum. A vegetable garden has also been established.
The Palm House
The National Herbarium is also housed at the National Botanic Gardens. It contains a collection of nearly 750,000 pressed plants, collected over the garden's two-hundred-year history. The gardens contain noted and historically important collections of orchids. The newly restored Palm House houses many tropical and subtropical plants. The Cactus House is currently (2008) being emptied for refurbishment.
In 2002, a new multistorey complex was built; it includes a cafe and a large lecture theatre.
Mealy's: Mount Congreve - The House Sale
The sales of the Mount Congreve collection yielded a total of €6.5 million across two major sales - the London Sale & the House Sale, conducted jointly by Mealy's & Christie's. Here is a short video about the House Sale.

Mealy’s : Mount Congreve - The House Sale
V.O. NPR Radio announcer
0.08 We are following other stories around the world this morning, including this one from Ireland, where because of the eurozone crisis, many people don’t trust the banks anymore.
0.18 They’d rather put their money, if they still have some, in art or antiques and they had an opportunity to do just that when an Irish aristocrat named Ambrose Congreve died, last year at the age of one hundred four (104).
0.29 He left behind a mansion full of treasures and the contents of his estate have gone up for auction.
V.O. Philip Reeves
0.35 Here’s NPR’s Philip Reeves.
0.37 People have come from far and wide.
0.40 They’re crammed into a big tent at Mount Congreve, a country estate with world famous gardens;
0.45 tucked amid the woods and rolling fields of south east Ireland.
Music
1.05 Congreve gifted his house and his gardens to the Irish Nation, but not the art and antiques.
1.24 A treasure trove is going under the hammer.
1.27 There are lacquered screens and vases from Imperial China.
1.31 Rare books, Georgian silver, vintage wines, chandeliers and gilt mirrors and enough antique furniture to fill a palace.
Music
2.07 In the tent, there are agents from across Europe.
2.10 George Mealy says the Irish are here too.
V.O. George Mealy
2.12 A lot of Irish and a lot of the wealthy Irish are represented here as well today.
