Historic garden in Northern Ireland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rowallane Garden is a National Trust property located immediately south of Saintfield, County Down, Northern Ireland on the A7 road. It is particularly noted for its extensive collection of azaleas and rhododendrons.[1] It is also home to the National Collection of penstemons.[2] It opened on 16 May 1956 by Lady Brookeborough after being taken over by the National Trust in July 1955.[citation needed]
The Garden, of some 50 acres in total, features a walled garden, rock garden woods, wildflower meadows, two walking paths,[3] a bell tower, and a tea room. The estate house is the headquarters of the National Trust in Northern Ireland.[1][2]
The Garden was laid out from the mid-1860s by the Reverend John Moore. He built a walled garden, created the Pleasure Grounds and planted many trees. In 1903 the garden passed to his nephew, Hugh Armytage Moore.[4]
