The Victorian Flower Garden was established circa 1900 by Sybil O'Reilly as a formal ornamental garden with a lean-to glasshouse, rockery and shrubbery.

The original rockery beside the glasshouse was built with stone brought from Donegal, the fashion at the time.

The current glasshouse is a faithful reconstruction.

The two square holes which can be seen low down in the middle of the wall between the glasshouse and the pergola were actually for charcoal fires to heat the lean-to glasshouse in the walled garden.
