This morning was spent hard at work on our papers, trying to make final edits before the due date and presentations Friday. While this may seem intimidating, I found the process of research and writing to be very interesting, as I am learning even more about business in both the United States and Ireland. Specifically,…

Day 23: Plants
Today, we spent the morning working on our final report and presentations then went to the Botanical Gardens after lunch. This visit was something that was special to me because my grandparents would take me to see botanical and traditional Japanese gardens when I was little. Seeing another one reminded me of those times. It…
The Botanical Gardens & Dinner with Brad
After breakfast today, we were given time to finalize our complete business/external analyses papers and presentations for Friday. For our next endeavor, we voted on whether we would visit the National Botanical Gardens of Ireland or the Gallery and Gardens. The survey said… Gardens only. After the interesting bus ride across Dublin, we were able…
8/8: The Garden

Flower Child

Botanical Gardens
We spent today in the classroom and in the Botanical Gardens of Ireland. The grounds of the gardens were gorgeous! All around there were glass conservatories full of vibrant flowers, lush green trees, and leafy palms. All around the grounds the landscape was dotted with beautiful flower beds and succulent designs. The girls and I…
The Natural Realm of Dublin
Today we visited the Botanical Gardens of Dublin after our time spent in class working on our final presentations and business analyses. It gave us another new perspective of Ireland and the culture that is prevalent within it. The Botanical Gardens were beautiful, and there were so many different flowers, greenhouses and other features of…
The Botanical Gardens
The Dublin Botanical Gardens are an exceptionally beautiful sight, though I can not say that I am a huge fan of gardens generally. The Dublin Botanical Gardens are diverse, full of life, and are definitely sights worth seeing, but there is something about how tame nature seems in gardens that is off-putting to me; I would much…
