The Gardens Áras an Uachtaráin is set amid 130 acres of parkland and gardens dating back to the construction of the house in 1751. The formal gardens were created in 1840 by Decimus Burton with later additions by Ninian Niven. They contain many Victorian features, including ceremonial trees, an arboretum, wilderness, pleasure grounds, avenues, walks, ornamental lakes and walled gardens. Visitors pass through the formal gardens to the Queen's Walk, flanked on either side by ceremonial trees, and into the upper walled garden which is bounded on the south by a Turner peach house. The Walled Garden, which is managed sustainably and has organic status, provides fruit, vegetables and flowers for the Áras. All apples and pears are used to make organic juice, which is served to the President’s visitors. The President and Sabina Higgins take a great interest in the gardens and have introduced new Irish varieties of organic vegetables. The President's flower garden has recently been planted with a spectacular selection of award winning Dahlias.

Na Gairdíní Tá Áras an Uachtaráin suite i measc 130 acra d’fhearann páirce agus de ghairdíní a théann siar chomh fada le tógáil an tí in 1751. Is é Decimus Burton a thóg na gairdíní foirmiúla in 1840 agus chuir Ninian Niven píosaí leo níos deireanaí. Tá go leor gnéithe Victeoiriacha iontu, crainn searmanais, crannlann, fásach, faichí pléisiúir, aibhinní, cosáin, lochanna ornáideacha agus garraithe daingne ina measc. Téann cuairteoirí tríd na gairdíní foirmiúla chuig cosán na Banríona idir chrainn searmanais ar gach aon taobh, agus isteach go dtí an garraí daingean uachtair a bhfuil teach gloine péitseog de chuid Turner mar theorainn theas air. Soláthraíonn an garraí daingean, atá á riar go hinbhuanaithe agus a bhfuil stádas orgánach aige, torthaí, glasraí agus bláthanna le haghaidh an Árais. Baintear leas as na húlla agus na piorraí go léir chun sú orgánach a dhéanamh le tabhairt do chuairteoirí an Uachtaráin. Tá an-suim ag an Uachtarán agus ag Sabina Higgins sna gairdíní agus tá cineálacha nua glasraí orgánacha curtha ag fás acu iontu. Tá rogha mórthaibhseach de dháilianna gradamacha curtha le gairid i ngairdín an Uachtaráin.
