Gardens by Peter Donegan, Landscaping Dublin, Ireland
I rarely if ever show works in progress photographs of gardens. I’ve no real specific reason for that; apart from the fact that I feel it shouldn’t influence whether you like that end result or not.

Above pictured Betula albosinensis Fascination.
The following trees are selections for 2 seperate projects that I am working on. I am pictured alongside it solely to give an idea of height and below my hand to give an idea of the trees girth.
