About Us

Located in the heart of County Waterford and open year-round, Mount Congreve Gardens is a haven for plant and history lovers alike, as well as for those simply looking to relax in nature. Boasting one of the largest private collections of plants in the world and described as “A Great Garden of the World”, the gardens feature an extraordinary collection of plants from every continent.

To make the most of your visit, take a guided tour and enter the gardens through the historic house. Afterwards, relax in the Stables Café, where only the freshest local produce is served.
