Reflection

'Reflection' is a journey to reconnect with childhood memories, creating a postcard of growing up amongst the quiet beauty of the Irish countryside. From playful mishaps in the family border through to wild blackberry picking on sunny autumn days, the garden preserves the enduring value of identity and belonging to a time gone by. Cottage style planting wraps its arms around you as you meander through a worn path, subconsciously tipping its hat to the favourite plant choices of three generations of family gardeners. Creating a sense of constant comfort, five wooden pillars of various heights reflect the enduring closeness of five siblings who are still very much grounded together through shared early experiences, despite living in different parts of the world. It is hoped that the garden serves to spark your own reflection on the role that early experiences may have shaped your gardening adventures.
