County collections include places near their towns and villages, sometimes across a boundary. Each place counts once in the national collection.

How MyMap works
How many gardens are there in Ireland?
OpenStreetMap records 272 in the Republic, across 26 counties. That is how many the map has, which is not the same as how many there are: anything nobody has mapped is missing, and anyone can add it.
Which county has the most gardens?
Dublin, with 89, then Meath with 39.
Do the county figures add up to 272?
No, and they are not meant to. A garden belongs to every settlement within twelve kilometres of it, so one near a county line is counted in both counties: 125 of them are. The figure in the heading counts each record once.
Which town has the most gardens near it?
Dublin in County Dublin, with 65 within twelve kilometres. That is what is near the town, not what is inside it.
Where does this come from?
The places and counts in this directory are based on OpenStreetMap records. Of 272 records in this category, 5 include opening hours, 9 include a phone number and 18 include a website. Individual place pages may add sourced visiting information. Check the venue for current details.
