Diarmuid Gavin

 

We are delighted to announce the return of Gardening Expert, Author and TV Personality, Diarmuid Gavin to the Northwest Garden Show. Multi award winning and the 2011 Gold Medalist at the Chelsea Flower Show, Diarmuid has established himself as one of Europe's top landscape designers and can boast his creations in every corner of the globe. He will this year leave a lasting legacy in the Northwest far beyond the weekend in May, with the launch / creation of an exclusively designed garden, to be built on an acre site incorporating a traditional stone walled garden, a covered informal meeting space, internal walkways, permanent garden furniture and structures associated with the specific garden design.

Enjoying what he describes as "a great sense of community spirit" Diarmuid anticipates returning this year to excite and inspire gardeners with his top tips, skills and extensive experience.

"I really love it when a community pulls together to make something happen..." - Diarmuid Gavin
