http://www.gardenhistorysociety.org/post/forum/victorian-and-edwardian-public-parks-in-ireland/ The Garden History Society (GHS) is the oldest society in the world dedicated to the conservation and study of historic designed gardens and landscapes. Through our interventions, advice and casework we have helped save or conserve scores of important gardens since we were founded by a small but dedicated band of garden-lovers in 1966.

I might add that the word 'heteropeias' does not occur in the Cambridge Dictionary - I assume heterotopia is meant; perhaps not. Although some keyholder parks have 18th century origins, the public parks of Ireland are a 19th century product - when Ireland as a whole was part of the United Kingdom. Any meaningful study needs to be undertaken in that context and not as if Ireland was a colony, which she was not. Irish gardeners (along with the Scots who dominated gardening in the 19th century) did however play an important in the creation of public gardens in the colonies - that might be a more meaningful study. I am helping to organise a conference on Public Parks in Dublin on October 23rd to 25th - indeed I have just sent material for flyer to be printed. Venue is Farmleigh House. Hazel Comway and other will be there. I will arrange for a flyer to be sent to Ms Bruck. Reading this text, the word gobbledegook come at once to mind.
