'Past Times' - A 70s Retro Garden | Medium Gardens | Bloom 2013

The concept of this garden evolves from holidays we have had in recent years, due to cut backs as a result of the recession. The idea is to create a space that can allow you to travel back in time to the Seventies. This was a period when most of us spent our holidays in a caravan - not a holiday home or even a mobile home.

It was cramped and mostly wet at times, but was also a time of great fun. We hope that when the public visit this garden, it will evoke memories of their own . We chose this the Seventies because it has that great retro feel to it and also it was a time before mass importation of plants from across the globe and before low maintenance gardens.

Francis is a third generation landscaper. He has over twenty years of experience under his belt, the first seven of which he spent developing his vast knowledge of plants and trees in a large south Dublin nursery. Feel free to pick his brain on all things horticultural! In addition to his horticultural expertise, Francis has a unique tact for the business end of things and is always able to secure the best prices when it comes to sourcing quality materials and plants for our clients.
