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).
