O'Brien Guide to Irish Gardens by Shirley Lanigan
The very best of Irish gardens to visit and enjoy, from the magnificant and celebrated to the really secret gardens- the off-the-track gardens that open for a few days a year. Author Shirley Lanigan takes you on a countrywide tour of over 300 gardens. She chats with the gardeners, many of them award-winning, who willingly share the secrets of their success and give ideas for colour combination, low maintenance plants and unusual and exciting planting schemes. O'Brien Guide to Irish Gardens also tells you everything you need to know about plant sales, garden clubs, horticultural courses and specialist nurseries and suppliers.
