For 20 years we designed and planted gardens in the Dublin area. We worked with architects and designers, as well as home and business owners, creating innumerable green spaces. We selected and supplied plants for everything from hotels, museums and offices to cafés, community centres and private gardens. Our knowledge of plants stretches to the rare and hard-to-find, and we know what grows best where. Most of our planting schemes have something unusual that you won't see elsewhere.
We chose plants that thrive in the Irish climate, many of which are grown in Irish nurseries. With fewer 'road miles' behind them, our plants are fresh, hardy and reliable. You'll see a cross-section of our stock in our Monkstown shop. For bespoke planting schemes we can supply a wider range of plants if required.
We only offer a limited garden design, supply and planting service these days, due to pressures of our shops. We still do a small number of projects each year, so please contact us if you think we would be a good fit.
