Reinventing the Shrubbery - Some Thoughts
Thursday 30th July
Reinventing the Shrubbery – Some Thoughts
Rediscover the beauty of slowing down in the garden with Daphne Shackleton’s inspiring talk, Reinventing the Shrubbery – Some Thoughts.
Once a traditional feature of every Irish garden, shrubberies often became forgotten corners dominated by dense evergreen planting. Daphne explores how these spaces can now be reimagined as vibrant havens filled with colour, texture and scent. Drawing on years of gardening experience, she shares ideas for combining shrubs with perennials, grasses and bulbs to create natural planting schemes.
This talk provides plenty of practical ideas and fresh inspiration for transforming overlooked areas into beautiful garden features.
Daphne Shackleton, botanist, gardener and artist, has for the past thirty years combined her expertise of plants, ecology and gardens with her artistic skills in a successful garden consultancy practice from her organic farm and garden in Co. Cavan.
She was formerly a Director of the Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland and is currently a judge at Bloom.
Time: 11 a.m.
Venue: Burtown House and Gardens, Burtown Little, Athy, Co. Kildare R14 AE67
Admission: €15.
