From top Peter Donegan; Peter’s design for this year’s RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show
This Summer
Following the WW1 Centenary Peace garden he designed for the 13th century Chateau de Peronne in France, Dublin-born garden designer Peter Donegan returns to ‘show gardening’ at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2020.
Peter’s show garden – ‘Northern Roots Oldham Garden’ (top) – has been designed to showcase the new green space project Northern Roots, the UK’s largest urban farm and eco-park placed in 160 acres of green space in the heart of Oldham, Greater Manchester.
Paying homage to Oldham’s Industrial heritage, the Northern Roots Oldham Garden will incorporate York stone and sandstone salvaged from Oldham’s Grade 2 listed Town Hall and 19th century mills.
In fairness.

He is a great Irish garden designer, and for someone so involved in gardening he gets his charm from it too!
