Gardens provide entertainment in winter as well as summer. We built this snowlady in the Spring of 2018. It was great fun draping her with jewels and adornment.

Sculpture adds personality to a garden as a picture does in a house. Sculpture can be made from any found pieces with a little creativity.

Bespoke features add interest. I created this granite seat in memory of my father from an old georgian chimney. An ideal spot to sit and contemplate my next move.

Climbers add interest to walls, giving vertical height, softening harsh lines and introducing scent.

Building our orchard. We used native Irish apple trees from Seedsavers in Scariff in Co. Clare.

Marking out the rosegarden was carried out in the Summer of 2013.

The planted rosegarden. A walled space filled with scent and sensory pleasure. I love roses, everything about them from their spring leaves to their pretty buds.

Sive, my trusted companion in the garden. Loves nothing better than barking at birds in the trees. They just tease her and make her day.

I am lucky to have old stone and brick walls throughout the garden. The walls retain the heat and make an ideal environment for sensory plants.

Arbours create height and intrigue in the garden. Their presence invites you to explore the space beyond.

The garden pond filled with lilys and surrounding with water loving plants.

I love my pots and window boxes. I fill them every May with plants I have cut back from the previous October and kept under glass for the winter.

I adore stones of all sizes shapes and colours. They add interest, form and colour to plain gravel beds.

I use succulents indoors and outdoors. Their colours are ever changing and their form and lusciousness is so beautiful.

Berries are a vital part of the biodiversity of our garden spaces, attracting pollinators in the spring and summer and birds in the autumn.

Well chosen autumnal planting choices gives the garden a shot of colour on duller days

Stone walls add interest, privacy and protection for delicate plants

My swings creates a fun element in the rose garden and soothes my soul
