Castlewellan Arboretum and Annesley Garden in County Down receives a prestigious award in recognition of its tree collection.
The International Dendrology Society (IDS) presented an IDS Plaque to Forest Service, who now own and maintain the garden as part of Castlewellan Forest Park. Speaking at the presentation, Forest Service Chief Executive John Joe O’Boyle said, ‘This is truly a prestigious honour which recognises the unique nature of the Castlewellan Arboretum and Annesley Garden. It is a place of unquestionable beauty in all seasons and particularly at this time of year as the blooms are emerging. It is also a place of great history, as many of the trees here are more than a century old and have grown through world wars, momentous events and times of great upheaval. The arboretum and gardens also have great scientific value as the specimens here represent a horticultural collection of unequalled diversity.’
