I got into a bit of trouble today. We had one ‘official’ photograph receiving award taken, but it doesn’t include Jean Michel [our Irish adopted Frenchman - left of pic]. The ‘official’ photo will go on the website, but I’ve to drive to Galway with J.M. today and it’s better that he’s smiles all the way… it’s a four hour drive!![Pictured above [l-r] are jean michel hallet, peter donegan & David Milner]

On a serious note, we did receive the Judges comments on our garden today. They said; ‘for exemplary standard of landscaping’ judges’ commented on the Private Garden Landscaping [award of merit] & the Private Garden Maintenance [winning garden] “the work illustrates a consisted commitment to horticultural excellence in a restoration project that requires a keen understanding of the client’s requirements. The herbaceous beds in particular deserve special acclamation for their restrained but inventive interplay between colour and foliage texture.”
Commenting further on Brackenstown House Estate judges’ noted The award goes to this project because the judges believe it “demonstrates a discernible excellence in maintenance.”
