PHIBSBORO PUBLIC LIBRARY
Back in 2014 when I first photographed this garden I commented as follows: ‘I must admit that I was somewhat unimpressed if not totally disappointed by this garden now located in the grounds of Phibsboro Public Library. In my opinion the setting is not at all suitable and elements [the pool to name but one] appear to be missing from the prize winning garden. I suspect that little of this will remain in two or three years due to lack of maintenance and appropriate attention. Note: The water pump may need a service as it appears to be rather noisy.’
Today, 19 April 2023, it was in an acceptable condition but the water elements have been removed which is a pity especially as the garden is named ‘River Run’
