SUMMARY:Gardens Along The Gulf Stream by John Anderson
DESCRIPTION:Step into the inspiring surroundings of Altamont Gardens for a captivating talk by John Anderson\, gardener to the King of England\, as he shares stories and insights from some of the most remarkable gardens shaped by the influence of the Gulf Stream. \nJohn will take audiences on a journey through the extraordinary gardens he has managed\, from the intimate charm of Mount Usher in County Wicklow to the dramatic\, sub-tropical oasis of Inverewe in northwest Scotland. He will also delve into the woodland splendour of Exbury\, home to the Rothschild rhododendron collection and share experiences from the renowned Savill and Valley Gardens in Berkshire. \nWhat makes this talk particularly special is the wealth of practical “takeaways” John weaves throughout. Expect plenty of those much-loved nuggets of wisdom – from clever planting combinations and how to work with your local microclimate\, to tips on achieving year-round interest and managing large or small spaces with confidence. \nThis is a rare opportunity to learn from one of the most respected figures in horticulture\, in a setting that perfectly reflects the themes of his work – natural beauty\, thoughtful design and the joy of gardening.

SUMMARY:It’s Never Too Late with Oliver Schurmann
DESCRIPTION:Set in the charming surrounds of Hardymount Gardens\, It’s Never Too Late by Oliver Schurmann is a thoughtful and inspiring talk that reflects on change\, renewal and the evolving journey of a life in plants. \nIn 2025\, Oliver and his wife Liat marked 25 years of Mount Venus Nursery\, supplying exceptional plants to gardeners across Ireland. That milestone coincided with a significant new chapter: leaving their long-established home in the walled garden at Tibradden House\, near the Dublin Mountains and moving just up the road to a striking and unconventional new site. \nOnce a granite sand quarry\, this landscape has\, over the decades\, been reclaimed by nature into a place of quiet beauty featuring winding-like paths\, dramatic sunken hollows\, mature trees and steep fern-covered banks. It is within one of these natural amphitheatres that their new nursery has taken root. \nIn this talk Oliver will document that journey of moving\, reimagining and starting again – offering honest reflections on the lessons learned along the way. Oliver will share insights into working with the land rather than against it\, responding to what a landscape offers. Have your pen and paper ready\, as Oliver shares plenty of practical advice and those all-important nuggets of wisdom to keep your garden looking beautiful and dynamic throughout the year. A stunning 100-page hardback book\, SLOW | CREATION | QUIET | ROOTS | LISTENING\, reflects on their deep connection to Tibradden House and the Dublin Mountains. Copies will be available to purchase on the day. \nThis event takes place indoors and includes an opportunity to explore Hardymount Gardens at your leisure either before or after the talk. Guests will also be treated to a most wonderful afternoon tea\, lovingly prepared by Ballymaloe-trained cook Justina McKeever. This is no ordinary tea – expect a seasonal spread featuring the very best of Irish ingredients\, from homemade cakes and scones to delicate sandwiches and lemon drizzle cake\, all served with flair and generosity. Relax under the trees or in the charming tea tent and let the atmosphere of Hardymount work its magic!
