In this weeks episode John is joined by Galway based garden designer Edel Feighery to chat about all things garden design. From How to start a garden? To planning and design Tips and everything in between.

Have you ever gazed at your garden, wondering how to transform it into a personal refuge that mirrors your own story? Let's embark on that journey together with Edel  garden designer whose roots in a midlands farm have blossomed into a business crafting bespoke garden sanctuaries for her clients.

In today's episode, Edel shares the evolution of her career from a tranquil pursuit during the pandemic to the thrill of nurturing her own garden design business. Her personal narrative intertwines with professional insights, laying out a path for anyone aiming to breathe new life into their outdoor spaces.

Navigating the garden design process, Edel and I peel back the layers of creating a garden that's not just a visual delight, but also a practical, low-maintenance haven. We dissect the essentials of layout, hard landscaping, and plant selection, furnishing you with tips to harmonise your dream vision with the often-overlooked aspect of garden care.  This episode serves as a compass to guide you through the vital steps of planting and mulching, ensuring your garden thrives with only the gentle touch of your hand.

As the conversation meanders through the seasons, we reveal how to cultivate a garden that captivates the senses year-round. From the springtime spectacle of Malus 'Evereste' to the autumnal colour of Amelanchier, we stitch together a tapestry of plants that promise a continual feast for the eyes. Edel shares her philosophy on dividing the gardening year into six distinct phases, aiming to keep your garden's narrative engaging from the crispness of winter to the last sigh of autumn. For those inspired to pick up the trowel or seeking the partnership of a garden designer, this episode is a treasure trove of planting wisdom and aesthetic guidance. Join us, as we plant not just gardens, but the seeds of everlasting outdoor stories.
