Thanks LeilaJey! I have some Irish ancestry, but I don't know anything except their names and born in Ireland! Our focus for this trip will be gardens. We're traveling with the new director of the Missouri Botanical Garden -- his last job was director of the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland and he's Irish, so he knows a lot about the plants there!
