         <description><![CDATA[<div>For this investigation I observed the different plants and animals in the garden and used an app on my phone called Plant Snap to picture and identify the different flora and fauna. Once I identified the different names of the plants and trees, I conducted my own research reading different articles and looking at different examples of the plants and trees.&nbsp;<br><br>I accessed Lord Meath's nature diary which gives an account of the different plants and animals that existed in Kilruddery Gardens over the years. I also observed the different animals I could see on my visits to Kilruddery and researched them and their role.</div>]]></description>

This is also a particularly astounding view seen from the house.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"<em>Rudbeckia fulgida</em>, commonly known as black-eyed Susan, is one of the most recognizable perennials in today's landscape".

The long, oval shaped, bright yellow petals on the flower make it appear daisy-like.&nbsp;<br><br> In the garden, this plant can spread aggressively by both stoloniferous stems and seed. In Kilruddery garden it appeared to be tame, kept in order by the gardeners.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Amaranthus Caudatus is a species of annual flowering plant. It is also commonly known by the name Love-Lies-Bleeding. <br><br>"<em>Amaranthus caudatus</em> can be distinguished by its usually long and pendant terminal spike and comparatively broad tepals of female flowers"(Agong 2006).&nbsp;<br><br>The Amaranthus Caudatus can grow anywhere from 3 to 8 feet in height, and grows best in full sun. In the wild garden in Kilruddery it is positioned in a place where it best receives the sun however, the plant can also handle a variety of different conditions and therefore is easily grown.&nbsp;<br><br>This flowering plant is striking amidst the other vibrant&nbsp; flowers found in the wild garden. The red colour of this pant is due to a high content of betacyanins. During the Victorian era, specific flowers had different meanings. Love-Lies-Bleeding stood for hopelessness or hopeless love. The interesting origin and linkage with the Victorian Era is very fitting to the history of Kilruddery House and Gardens.</div>]]></description>

Statues are also situated around The Beech Circle.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The forest of Kilruddery Estate hosts one of Irelands first nature kindergartens. The Park Academy's Nature Kindergarten is an outdoor classroom which allows children to immerse themselves in nature and learn through what is naturally happening around them. The seasons, flora and fauna of Kilruddery play a role in this child centred learning. Kilruddery thus provides an educational setting where students are encouraged to be creative and imaginative through their learning. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Lord Meath states in his nature diary that "By the year 2000, grey squirrels were located all over Killruddery" (Meath, 2021). Unfortunately the grey squirrel can cause serious damage to young trees and eat birds eggs. They are therefore seen as a pest. Gardeners have began culling the grey squirrel in Kilruddery in order to prevent them from ruining the gardens and to allow the red squirrel to survive.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The 10th Earl of Meath John Chambré reconstructed many parts of Kilruddery House between 1820 and 1830. In a guided tour of Kilruddery House and Gardens, Nolan (2021) explained that the Earl employed Richard and William Vitruvius Morrison as architects and instructed them to build a Tudor Revival mansion which would incorporate elements of the original 17th century mansion. The Earl kept a lot of the interior the same but brought in French furniture to the mansion because he enjoyed the country and their culture.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
