Zoom Talk "Eco-Aesthetic Gardening: Creating Habitats with Soil Life and Beauty" on Wednesday the 6th of November at 19.00
Conall O’Caoimh and Nuala Doherty, are the creators of Ardán Garden in Howth, a half-acre garden composed of a series of spaces designed to generate feeling. They have a rich botanical collection and are fully organic.
Conall and Nuala describe their approach to gardening as ‘eco-aesthetic’, working to create habitats as well as beauty around their home, which starts by cultivating the life within the soil.
Their talk will describe how and why soil life is cultivated, and how it benefits nature, the garden and the gardener.
This talk is free and open to all IGPS members.

On Saturday 16th of November 2:30 - 3:30pm, in the National Botanic Gardens, Dublin 9, Dave and Jules Hardy will present 'Daffodils in Ireland' - a talk on the wonderfully rich tapestry of the history of daffodil breeding across the island of Ireland.
‘A hobby that got out of hand’ is often the phrase Dave and Jules use to describe how Esker Farm Daffodils came into existence.
Based in Co Tyrone, between Omagh and Enniskillen, their nursery initially focused purely on daffodils but over the last few years, they have ventured into selling a broader range of other specialised, more unusual bulbs, many of these starting out as the daffodils did - as a hobby.
But now their personal collections of snowdrops, crocuses, colchicums, fritillaria and other unusual bulbs are slowly being added to the catalogue and website, as numbers permit. Over the coming years they will continue to develop and increase their range of bulbs, even introducing new varieties bred in Dromore.
This talk is free and no booking is required
