The Republican Garden of Remembrance sits on Hill Street in Wexford Town, behind the old Wexford gaol. The Wexford Republican Graves Association maintains the garden.
The garden contains commemorative plaques and trees dedicated to some of the Republican movement’s fallen heroes. Among the plaques are two that commemorate Republicans executed during the Civil War.
The top plaque reads:
This plaque commemorates the 60th anniversary of James Parle – John Creane – Patrick Hogan. Executed for the ideals of freedom and an Irish republic on the 13th of March, 1923. In proud and faithful remembrance. Erected by the National Graves Association Wexford.
The bottom plaque reads:
This slab indicates the place where James Parle, John Creane and Patrick Hogan were executed for the Irish Republic. March 13th, 1923. R.I.P.
Several benches allow visitors to sit and relax in the garden.
The garden gates are open to the public from March to September.
