Ireland has many gardens. The climate condition of Ireland is favorable for plants. There are number of public gardens as well as personal. Having a garden in houses are in fashion since Anglo Norman times. Now a day it is essential ornaments of house. Land owners adopt "natural style" landscape parks instead of the old geometric layouts. Heated glasshouses and conservatories, increasingly popular in the Victorian period, facilitated the growing of these rare and tender plants - including palms, orchids, ferns and exotic fruits. Gardens by their nature can be ephemeral creations - reflecting changes in the seasons, subject to the natural life cycle of plants and the vagaries of changing fashion and taste. Dublin's famous Georgian squares were Ireland's first urban parks.
