I NEED SOME COLOUR

October 26, 2020 by Infomatique

I NEED SOME COLOUR IN MY LIFE AND FOR THAT THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE THAN THE BOTANIC GARDENS

Within the living collections at the National Botanic Gardens they have over 300 endangered species from around the world, and six species already extinct in the wild. These are a vital resource, like a Noah’s Ark for the future. Cultivating a wide range of plants from the diverse climatic regions of the world, and displaying these under good horticultural practice allows visitors to see what they too can achieve in their own gardens.

The Gardens are open every day throughout the year except for Christmas Day, and are completely free to enter and explore. Interpretative guided tours are available Monday to Saturday for a small fee, and are free on Sundays.

ANGEL BY CATHERINE E GREENE BOTANIC GARDENS SEPTEMBER 2013

Catherine E. Greene is a well established Irish figurative sculptor working in bronze and latterly mixed media. Her versatile output ranges from large scale civic sculpture, to private commissions and large exhibition pieces to smaller sculptures which explore the figure in the context of the sensual and often surreal world which they inhabit. Major commissions include the equestrian memorial of the Irish patriot, Thomas Francis Meagher in Waterford, the memorial to the much loved Irish comedian, Dermot Morgan in Merrion Square Dublin; and the central Altarpiece sculpture of the crucified Christ in the new basilica in Fatima Portugal.
