Listowel’s secret garden occupies a secluded former landfill site. In 1995 it was transformed into Garden of Europe to commemorate, with the rest of Europe, the ending of World War II. Twelve mini-gardens, one for each member of the European Union, are filled with over 3000 trees and plants. The garden also has a bust of the poet, Schiller, and Ireland’s only Holocaust Memorial. The garden is also a winner of the Tidy Towns National Landscapes Award.
