THE SHELTER IN THE PEOPLE'S GARDEN

The People's Flower Gardens are a beautiful and historic part of Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland.

History:

Originally opened in 1840 as the Promenade Grounds, the gardens were redesigned and reopened in 1864 as the People's Flower Gardens. They were created to provide public recreational space in Dublin, which was lacking compared to other cities at the time.
