Calendar of Events

We are delighted to be back for Culture Night 2023!

Join us for a guided tour of Trinity College Botany’s unique teaching and research facility. Trinity Botanists will show you around the walled garden, arboretum and large collection of glasshouse plants from all over the world. Hear stories of plant research expeditions and discover our oldest plant. Learn about the history of plants through time and the amazing ways plants have evolved to thrive in almost every environment on Earth. Discover amazing plant adaptations, such as insect-eating plants what you thought was a leaf is in fact a stem!

The Gardens will be open from 4.00 pm and we are offering two group tours. Because of limited capacity in our glasshouses you will need to book your preferred tour in advance. Check out the Culture Night events page for more information. To book your place visit Eventbrite.

Please also note that, currently, for visitors with limited mobility, access to most areas is somewhat restricted due to older building configurations and a mixture of gravel and grass surfaces. We are working to address these access issues and make the Gardens accessible to everyone.

We look forward to seeing you on September 22nd!

Visual artist, Mary Dillion, will run a two-day introduction to botanical drawing and watercolour illustration. In this practical Botanical Art course, students will be guided through the meditative process of creating a piece of botanical art. Immerse yourself in the wonder of plants and create your own work of botanical art in the secluded surroundings of Trinity College Botanic Garden.
