Designing and Planting a Fragrant Garden with Mary Keenan

Join renowned horticulturist and garden designer Mary Keenan for an inspiring workshop focused on the art of creating fragrant gardens that awaken the senses and elevate outdoor spaces. With over 35 years of hands-on gardening experience and a lifelong passion for plants, Mary will share her expert knowledge on how to select and combine beautifully scented plants for maximum seasonal impact.

Drawing on her experience as co-owner of the acclaimed Gash Gardens in County Laois, as well as her roles in public park design, Mary brings a wealth of practical advice and planting inspiration. Whether your garden is large or small, sun-drenched or shaded, this session will help you discover the right choices to fill your space with scent throughout the year—from old-fashioned roses and sweet peas to herbs, bulbs, and aromatic shrubs.

As a regular columnist with The Irish Garden magazine and a respected voice in Irish horticulture, Mary’s engaging and down-to-earth approach makes this a must-attend event for gardening enthusiasts of all levels. The talk will take place indoors and will be followed by a guided visit to Delta Sensory Gardens, where participants can experience the beauty and impact of a fragrant garden in full bloom.
