Design: The Perennial Garden, RHS Flower Show, Cardiff 2019
/in All Posts, Donegan Gardens, Landscaping Dublin /by Peter DoneganPerennial and Peter Donegan confirm Show Garden at RHS Flower Show, Cardiff 2019.
To help mark its 180th anniversary, Perennial has partnered with Irish garden designer Peter Donegan with a show garden for RHS Flower Show Cardiff (12-14 April 2019). It is the first time the horticulture trade charity has exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society Flower Show and the first time Peter (or any Irish designer) has had designs accepted to the prestigeous flower show.
In November 2018 Peter was selected by a French jury to represent Ireland to design and realise the Irish WW1 Centenary Peace Garden at Chateau de Peronne in the Somme region of Northern France and see the garden in the dried up moat of the 13th century castle to completion. This will be Peter’s first public garden since his return. Read more
