ORCHIDS
Orchids have a special place at Glasnevin. It was here, in the 1840's that orchids were first grown to flowering stage
from seed by the then curator, David Moore. In addition a number of species
of tropical orchid were scientifically described from specimens growing in the Glasnevin collections, some of these were
illustrated in Curtis' Botanic Magazine, and are recorded in the National Botanic Gardens
art collections.
The orchid house has been restored along with the great Palm House.
