- This year’s Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show @melbflowershow will feature Peter Donegan, an internationally renowned horticulturist, garden designer and speaker. His practice was borne in 2001 and very swiftly achieved acclaim winning a host of awards for 17th & 18th century gardens & show gardens at national competition.

In 2018, Peter was one of 14 designers selected to create garden spaces at historic locations to commemorate the centenary of the ending of World War 1. The peace garden, Jardin Eutychia (after the Green Goddess of Happiness) was realised at Chateau de Péronne @historial1418, home to Europe’s largest war museum within the 13th century French castle, north of Somme. Peter returned last year to open his second design at the Chateau, Jardin Philophrosyne, an internal courtyard within the medieval buildings, that features an extraordinary herbarium of world war medicinal plants.
Come hear Peter talk to us of these two extraordinary designs and provide a sneak peak of his high-anticipated Show Garden (construction by @semkenlandscaping) that opens a week later at the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show.

My absolute honour to be interviewed by Bertrand F

My absolute honour to be interviewed by Bertrand Fournier for @iceomagazine featured in the latest issue of their very beautiful publication.

Bertrand and I discuss @artetjardinshdf and how I became 1 of 14 designers selected globally to design a garden to remember the ending of the 1st world war, representing Ireland. The 30’ below street level garden I designed was in the dried up moat of 13th C Château de Péronne and was Inaugurated in 2019 alongside Embassy of Ireland France - Ambassade d'Irlande en France then Amb Patricia O’Brien and @irish_in_france.

The castle known also as @historial1418 Historial de la Grande Guerre is home to Europes largest war museum who not only have the most amazing staff but also is well worth visiting - We delve into the latest garden I designed there in 2022. In this occasion in the inner defence courtyard (a place you are not meant to get into, which made the design for build a little interesting).

We talk looking to the future but remembering the past, daydreams and gardens that are borne from that matter but also have a billion equations behind the curtains….. and a little darkness behind the research when (self imposed) submerged into a horrorful wars research in order to be able to realise the opposite and convey that message on behalf of a town that became my 2nd home and that I adore.

The 2nd garden was Inaugurated in 2022 Hervé Francois (Director, Historial de la Grande Guerre, Peter Donegan (Landscape Designer), @guillaume_duflot (President Historial de la Grande Guerre), @stephane_haussoulier President du @sommeledepartement Yael Menache (Deputy), Valérie Kumm (Councilor Departmental), Michéal Tierney (Deputy Ambassador, Irish Embassy France), Jean-Paul MULOT (Conseiller régional @region_hautsdefrance).
