Here in Ireland, we like to complain about the rain – and to be fair, it does rain quite often – but the redeeming feature of our much-maligned damp, mild weather is that we have the perfect climate for a wide range of beautiful plants, from the ornamental to the edible! That’s one of the reasons why we have a long tradition of both formal and informal gardens on our emerald isle, and why even amateur gardeners can achieve fantastic results, regardless of how much, or how little, garden they have at their disposal.
