Description
The Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens Tramore reflect the life of literary figure Lafcadio Hearn, Koizumi Yakumo. The Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens reflect
the life and extensive wanderings of Patrick Lafcadio Hearn, who grew up in Ireland, and whose life journey embraced several parts of the world. The gardens pay homage to the fame he attained in Japan through his
incomparable literary descriptions of the people,
customs and culture of that country.
The Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens have a
wonderful and unique story to tell. In their style and planting they contain elements of the gardening traditions of the countries and cultures traversed by Hearn during his varied life. The journey begins in a Victorian Garden to commemorate Hearn’s happy
childhood summers in Tramore. There is an American Garden, a Greek Garden and a traditional Japanese Tea Garden, in addition to a Stream Garden, ponds, a waterfall and an extensive woodland area. The main
elements of design, in particular the use of rocks and water and the plant selection, are influenced by the tradition of a Japanese Strolling Garden.

We are delighted to welcome the first bloom of Camellia's to the garden for 2017. DID YOU KNOW ? Usually found in eastern and southern Asia from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia, Camellias are evergreen shrubs or small trees up to 20 m (66 ft) tall. Their leaves are alternately arranged, simple, thick, serrated, and usually glossy. Flowers are generally large and conspicuous, with five to nine petals in naturally occurring species of camellias.
