It is not metaphorically that I state, the beauty of the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin, Ireland cannot be described in words. After experiencing it for myself I have to come to believe that there are only a few places in the world where one can capture Mother Nature in all her glory as one can at the National Gardens.
Only a futile attempt can be made towards describing the mere features of the place but if you wish to experience its real enigma you will have to pay a visit to the gardens.

The National Botanic Gardens of Ireland have been developed and maintained by the Royal society of Dublin since 1795. It has been developed in a 19.5 hectare stretch of fertile flood plain of the River Tolka in Dublin. The gardens are located 5 km from the city centre.
The gardens have an astonishingly large collection of 20000 living and a more than a million dried and preserved specimens of plants. As nature lovers both my husband and I enjoyed observing the unique varieties of plants and the historical collection of plant products such as fruits and seeds. The garden is famous centre for horticulture research given the unique and unparalleled biodiversity it encapsulates in one place.

The National Botanic Gardens are also a very famous tourist destination which is completely free for the public. The beautiful architecture and inspiring collection of orchids were my favourite parts of the Gardens. The Palm House which was built in 1823 is an example of Irish and British architectural marvels. Its beauty remains unsurpassed being surrounded by exotic varieties of flowers and their enigmatic aromas.
The greenhouses that are most popular include the Aquatic, Fern and Cactus glass houses. They have been built in uniquely different designs which add to their beauty. The Gardens to me are a breeding place for imagination, thought and creativity and it is not a coincidence that many famous philosophers and poets have done their best work staying at these gardens.
I leave these gardens with a lot of emotions and thoughts that are difficult to describe but rather only the subtle feeling of curiosity hidden beneath a blanket of satisfaction and fulfilment comes to mind.
