Editorial reading
Editorial interpretation: the planted glasshouses allow the living collection and its architectural setting to be read together. The connection with Kilmacurragh gives the institution a wider geographical context, while Glasnevin remains a distinct Dublin site.
Recommendation
Compare the glasshouse structures with the plants displayed inside them. Consult current official visitor information before travelling and distinguish the Dublin garden from the separate Kilmacurragh site.
