Reviews of Arboretum Kilquade The National Garden Exhibition Centre
R. B.
I love this garden centre. We had our wedding photos taken here in August. It was lovely to go back and walk around with such lovely memories. Would highly recommend wedding photos being taken here there is such a variety of scenes and the gardens are put together so well. All they require you to do is call up and book. But they don’t charge its amazing. If I could give them a 10 star I would.

Lovely garden centre, really knowledgeable and friendly staff, delicious soup,hot chocolate and apple tart to go.
J. K.
Beautiful garden centre to visit with little hidden walk ways around its grounds that are great for keeping kids entertained. Their plant selection is fantastic. They have a cafe/restaurant on site with good selections but we would have loved a better Gluten Free choice of foods.
B. O. N.
Well stocked garden centre. Bought a liquid amber tree.

We will definitely be coming back soon when Christmas shop is ready.

Arboretum is one of our favourite places to go whether we need to pick up something for our garden or just want to have a wee nosy about all the beautiful plants and flowers. The staff is always extremely hospitable and politely answer any and all questions us novice gardeners have showing a depth of knowledge and expertise that adds a lot of value to the experience. The cafe is delicious too!
S. ..
I guess, its the garden that is undoubtedly the most beautiful part of the experience than the food, not that the food is not good... It is a great experience for a day out...
R. M.

Very nice garden centre with tea rooms.
Some garden items quite expensive however all good quality which should last a long time, especially seating and water fountains ect...
Nice staff....

I love it here as my dad recently passed away and his resting place in in Kilquade graveyard. It's only two years since my dad passed away but we always come to your beautiful garden centre/ cafe afterwards & since my name is 'Rachel' after 'Rachel's secret garden, I always feel so close to my dad ✨✨✨✨❤️

J. E.
Always good to visit. Great plants and garden accessories.Lovely gardens( In need of some TLC and investment,),excellent restaurant. Top marks for design and layout. Older staff much more personable than younger. Younger staff completely lacking in personality and seem to take little or no interest in customers.
a. c.
We just had lunch here in the Arboretum restaurant. There were 5 of us. My wife, myself and three kids.
We ordered the salmon and cod fish pie with white wine and fresh dill sauce. It was excellent . The best food we have had in ages. The kids had pasta.. They ate every bit of it. We also indulged with the fabulous banoffe pie and pecan roulade. Delicious.. Coffee was excellent too.
Staff are friendly and a special thank you to the brilliant chef Darren who looked after us so well.
We will definitely be back to eat here again.. I'm thinking next weekend..
Brilliant chef and excellent food too.
Keep up the great work..
From Alan and family.

What ever way you drive there. It's lovely. The landscape is beautiful the heart ♥ of Ireland close to the Sea And the Hills..
Arboretum is a surprise.... Especially the Secret Gardens you can loose yourself in there for a while. Garden centre I well stocked. and colourfull. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nice for children. Good space for disabled.. Lovely restaurant
Excellent Food...Eat. Indoors or out...
Over all COFFEE IS EXPENSIVE.... 🌹 🌹
RAIN ☔ OR SHINE. I GO AS OFTEN AS I CAN...... 🌹
E. M.
The garden centre is well stocked, rather on the pricey side, the staff is there rather for watching you than help. The garden centre itself would get about 2 stars from me. The recall fun starts i the gardens at the back, I was overwhelmed by the design, the whole concept, planting and size of the gardens. One of the must to see if you like gardening!
m. m. m.
Fantastic garden center and lovely maze, beautiful flowers and bushes.
M. O.
Had to exchange item from online order, Rebecca most helpful. Very confusing when trying to return something as only the tills are manned. No service counter or greeter. Very well stocked.
l. m.
I love this place. Great place to browse for unique gifts. My daughter, husband and I shopped here after Xmas for sale items. We had a ball and got some great Christmas tree lights. We also had lunch which was very nice. Restaurant was spacious and light. Staff were lovely too. Lots of parking. Good memories. 👍🏻
A. W.
A beautiful series of linked gardens with extensive close packed planting in lush arrangements. The site is not that large so distances easily managed for most but some narrow paths, steps and slopes which add to the beauty but might be awkward for those with mobility issues. There were seats and benches here and there if you need to rest for a bit.
It's attached to a garden centre which had a nice arrange if plants for sale, done quite unusual..prices about what one would expect. The restaurant had an excellent range of extremely tasty looking hot and cold menu options and was spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful taking time to escort a coeliac customer around the extensive displays of food to point out their gluten free options. The public conveniences were set away from the restaurant across the garden centre courtyard..basic but clean.
Enjoyable visit & highly recommend.
A. C.
I really love this place and for many different reasons. The top reason is as a welcoming botanical gardens with lovely fountains and landscape architecture. Secondly the cafe is very good for coffee and breakfast/lunch. Thirdly, there’s a playground for kids and kids just love exploring the gardens. Fourthly the garden nursery has some very nice plants and trees for sale. This is an amazing place! Well done Arboretum!
A. O. R.
Great garden Centre and friendly helpful staff. Lovely coffee shop with plenty of outdoor tables to eat at. Arrive early lunch or late afternoon as it's popular...
P. K.
Great atmosphere, food and Ideal for people looking for gardening advice.
S. M.
This is a gorgeous garden centre which also displays many garden styles for you to walk through. All the plants are very reasonably priced. There is also a lovely cafe located inside which offers lots of baked goodies and meals that include side salads etc.
They offer coffee/tea machines for those not ordering food as an option or they have a barista by the tills to make you a coffee of your choice.
They are also dog friendly and offer water bowls and food bowls for doggies :)
R. M.
We visit here regularly and it has never failed to impress. Lovely food and coffee made by chatty staff who know their job. Lovely landscaped different styles of gardens and of course an array of plants bushes flowers and trees to purchase. Statues ornaments and all types of garden equipment also available to purchase from a very helpful and knowledgeable staff who are always on hand to answer your questions.
C. B.
Great spot for a coffee and a slice of cake or a full lunch. Lovely setting with indoor and outdoor seating and experts on all things garden/plant related! Lovely gardens to walk around too. It's also dog friendly which is great! And there's even a playground for the kids!

Lovely food, staff very nice. Plenty of parking. Good selection of plants, etc. The slides were gone last time we visited as there was work going on. Hoping they will be replaced with something else child friendly.
O. H.
I had a most restful time walking around the gardens. So much to see and choose from trees,flowers,shrubs, garden furniture and ornaments! A lovely cafe/resturant to relax in and taste good food and cakes. Child and dog friendly so keep them safely near you,lots of ponds so water is nearby. There are lilies in bloom too, in the ponds.
B. M.
Great variety of healthy plants. Well laid out. Very accessible and scenic location. May be a little more expensive than some other garden centres but the quality of the plants in general is higher than most others. The food selection in the restaurant is very good.
L. R.
Stunning!!! Our favourite place to visit as a family. The Gardens are unbelievable.
A. B.
Great place ! I love the gardens within the garden, the food is typically Irish and plentiful, the sellers are very nice and helpfull. There is a large choice of plants, shrubs and trees, some are even rare species ! A great afternoon escape into nature, I recommend.
E. J. O.
Love this place! It's been such an oasis during the pandemic. Wandering around outside looking at all the beautiful flowers and shrubs.
M. B.
Exquisite gardens which are surprisingly accessible (I am permanently on crutches, and found them manageable). An excellently-stocked garden centre with the addition of lots of higher-end outdoor furniture and some unusual lights and statuary. Also, the restaurant/tea-room was very pleasant, with lovely food, friendly, helpful staff, and the bonus of a beautiful view. Probably the nicest garden centre I have visited in recent years.
J. O.
Lovely hidden gem. We arrived STARVING after our intended breakfast stop turned out to be closed. Expected it to be expensive, but the cafe was very reasonable. Tasty choices. Garden centre has lots to offer for a browse and kids enjoyed the playground while I shopped. I wasn't aware of the garden exhibits until I came upon them, and was amazed at how they went on and on. Lots of nooks and crannies to explore, an adventure for kids and great inspiration for adults. Definitely worth stopping by!
M. C.
Nice gardens, was a bit disappointed with food availability in the cafe but I am a picky eater and the carvey was lamb. 9 times out of 10 I have no problems. All in all a lovely day out and the gardens are well worth walking around. Great for kids.
I. Z.
Wonderful gardens. I have visited with my family on sunny days. Great place for kids. They also have very spacious cafe with homemade food. And the garden shop is just amazing... Have not seen garden center with so many varieties of flowers and plants to buy. Definitely will come back for day fun and to buy flowers for my garden
D. S. C.
Very quick and professional service on line. Product was delivered very quickly. There was a small bit of damage which they dealt with quickly offering a full refund, replacement item or a small discount. We have used them before and we will use and recommend Arboretum again.
J. O.

Hi A very organised and well stocked garden centre .

S. G.
lovely garden cntr. coffee shop always has a lovely selection of cakes available. perfect spot for a tea/coffee and cake. the garden shop has a great selection of plants and I find them very reasonably priced
A. B.
Great place. Look no further if you're looking for a place to enjoy nice cup of excellent coffee surrounded with beautiful garden. So many nice "hiding" spots where you can relax and enjoy.
J. N.
The secret gardens are lovely. Quiet, tranquil with waterfalls and birdsong and chairs and benches hidden in unexpected spots. After a good cup of coffee and fresh cake in the tearoom, take a book and relax, or wonder around discovering fairy gardens everywhere. Absolutely delightful!!!!
A. C.
Great selection of plants, shrubs and larger trees and staff have good knowledge, beautiful garden walks with different planting settings and nice little seating areas to get good ideas for your own garden . We always like to wander around for a while and enjoy it and then go for a coffee and a snack in the on site restaurant
A. P. P. a. A.
I love this garden center, it's second only to Mount Usher gardens in Ashford. I spent an hour and a half walking around, taking photos and just admiring the gardens. Each garden leading you into the next one, yet each individual garden been unique in its own right. If you love color, flowers, smells, the great outdoors then give this place a visit. It's beautiful in every sense of the word. A little piece of paradise in Kilquade.
L. F.
Arboretum (means a botanical garden devoted to trees).
I like the surroundings, the staff, the cleanliness, the decor and of course the food. There's also plenty of parking, at least in the mornings. My one gripe is that I don't think it's great value but that's probably just me being a bit tight!
E. S.
Very good garden centre, with lovely cafe, join the A list loyalty group, you get free plants etc, good for pond plants. They do garden furniture as well,staff are good, friendly atmosphere.
A. B.
A special garden center due to the variety of exhibition gardens still left there and maintained. Also a small playground for kids and some nice plants and furniture. Nice Coffee and restaurant on site . Pricey but show me a garden center that isn't!
J. o. b.

J. K.
If you are in Wicklow and you are bored. Look no further. The staff in both the café and the shop were super awesome . You can walk around the garden and it is like an outdoor IKEA. The gardens give you ideas if you are remodelling your own garden. And there is a playground there so kids could have fun. Also how you get there is good aswell whether you're coming from the N11 or Kilcoole because the scenery is amazing. Keep up the good work folks
A. S.
Great garden centre. Alot of choice and not very expensive.
j. g.
Amazing service, bought a bbq over the phone and 24 hours later it arrived in Dublin. The staff member I dealt with was extremely helpful and efficient! If I could give 10 stars I would! Keep up the great service
A. P.
Lovely garden centre great variety beautiful setting and friendly staff
D. T.
It's large and there are few if any bargains here as everything is top whack prices but I suppose that's Dublin for you. For example, I was looking for Olearias - they had hastii in their sale corner reduced to €6 from €12.95 - problem is that I just bought some of these up at home in the west and full price they cost me €4 each! However, I found an olearia variety I haven't found around home here to add to my olearia heavy garden and I paid the full €12.95 price! 🤞 I did enjoy their multitude of miniature water gardens one leading into the next at the rear of the centre and I also enjoyed that dogs on leads are welcome! My dog was startled to meet herself in one of the little streams which had a mirror barrier across it - it took her a good 30 seconds to work out that it was herself approaching! Culchie dog - not used to such garden decor as mirrors! But, all those mini gardens are wonderful to explore and enjoy! Someone needed to give the garden furniture in them a good wash down as it was all covered in green algae - maybe an unfortunate side effect of all that water?
J. M.
I enjoyed the gardens even though weather was not great. I did feel it needed abit more looking after but maybe as it was already 2 weeks ago it was just bare... not really blooming much yet.
D. L.
The gardens are showing neglect & the plants were highly priced. The horticultural staff were very pleasant & knowledgeable. The restaurant was in a pretty situation but very haphazard service
M. T.
Lovely garden centre with very helpful staff on knowledge of plants. Fun playground for children to play as adults can relax have beautiful food & great coffee while they play.
S. R.
One best place to spend time with a family. Small restaurant delivering a very good food, behind is beautiful garden. You could buy plants from to any garden you need. Just "Amazing" place. Please visit it.
M. H.
Fabulous range of plants and good take away coffee & food!
C. M. G.
A gorgeous garden centre in the garden of Ireland. It used to be the National Garden Centre. The Arboretum have done an excellent job here . Beautiful flowers trees and garden furniture. The jewel in the crown is it's restraunt . Delicious food just like their place in Loughlinbridge in Kilkenny. Wheelchair accessible and toilets. Well worth a visit.

Nice garden centre and coffee shop with a magical "secret garden" to explore after a decent meal of hot or cold buffet style food of a reasonable standard. Caters for fussy eaters too so perfect for the awkward lunches with the in-laws.

The garden walk was nice, the food was ok, but the customer service wasn't great. The staff were not very accommodating or Friday to kids. It just came across like my daughter was in the way. When I asked for a high chair I was told to go to the opposite side of this big place and get it myself.
M. P.
