A room with a view and a wet deck


Sandstone patio and raised Madoc walls




Town courtyard with wildflower garden at rear , requiring very little maintenance , a haven for wildlife.





Herbaceous borders , while time consuming can look stunning in high Summer



Dappled shade in the garden



This is supposed to be a before and after job LOL




This is a 20 ft. container that was very ugly . So I built this calp limestone wall with false windows etc. Arches can give the illusion of space and a sense of mystery . The old railings painted bright red look great even in darkest Winter . Everything in the pictures was salvaged and free , including the urns which I managed to get 14 of them








In a small back garden in Dublin 3 different seating areas to follow the sun






Low maintenance front garden

and Courtyard garden

Light and shade

Cabbage , Calabrese , Onion sets and Shallots , Lettuce , French Beans , Carrots , Parsnips , Radish , Peas , Spinach , Pak Choi , Strawberries , Manguetout , Beetroot ,
