Dublin landscape gardener Peter Donegan, the first Irish designer to show at the Royal Horticultural Society Flower Show in Cardiff and his garden (top).
Via Perennial:
To help mark its 180th anniversary, UK based garden charity Perennial has partnered with Irish garden designer Peter Donegan with a show garden for RHS Flower Show Cardiff (April 12-14).
It is the first time the horticulture trade charity has exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society Flower Show and the first time Peter (or any Irish designer) has had designs accepted to the prestigous flower show.
In November 2018 Peter was selected by a French jury to represent Ireland to design and realise the Irish WW1 Centenary Peace Garden at Chateau de Peronne in the Somme region of Northern France and see the garden in the dried up moat of the 13th century castle to completion. This will be Peter’s first public garden since his return.
After RHS Cardiff, the garden will be redesigned and relocated to Veterans Growth in East Sussex, a charity who run horticultural therapy courses for ex-service men and women who have been diagnosed with mental illness.
In fairness.
Best of luck Peter!
Go on da man! Knock ’em dead!
