A double line of yew trees, known as &#8220;Addison&#8217;s Walk&#8221; survives from this period. The original function of the gardens was to advance knowledge of plants for agricultural, medicinal and dyeing purposes. The gardens were the first location in Ireland where the infection responsible for the 1845\u20131847 Great Famine was identified. Throughout the famine, research to stop the infection was undertaken at the gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walter Wade and John Underwood, the first Director and Superintendent respectively, executed the layout of the gardens, but, when Wade died in 1825, they declined for some years. From 1834, Director Ninian Nivan brought new life into the gardens, performing some redesign. This programme of change and development continued with the following Directors into the late 1960s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gardens were placed into government care in 1877.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the winter of 1948\/9 Ludwig Wittgenstein lived and worked in Ireland. He frequently came to the Palm House to sit and write. There is a plaque commemorating him on the steps he sat on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-pale-pink-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-pale-pink-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-923\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-70-2 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-923 ml-slider ml-slider-lightbox-1-12-0 lightbox-disabled ms-theme-default nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"Slideshow\" aria-label=\"THE SMALL FOOTBRIDGE [ACROSS THE LILY POND AT THE BOTANIC GARDENS]\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_923\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_923\">\n            <ul aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"slides\">\n                <li style=\"display: block;
