Dermot O' Neill, Irish gardener

I always carry a good gardening book with me where ever I roam and perhaps one of the most practical and fact filled is Dermot O' Neill's Gardening Tips (Town House & Country House, Dublin, 2002). O' Neill is a well-known gardener and TV presenter on the same subject; he also makes regular gardening contributions to The Pat Kenny Radio Show on RTE Radio 1. Dermot O' Neill has been gardening for the past 25 years and in that time he has amassed a considerable knowledge about working with plants and all things gardening.

This handy pocket-sized gardening book is a must for any would-be gardener because it contains contributions from 25 of his friends who as you can imagine are all keen gardeners; some are professional while others are amateur and what they have in common is a hands-on approach to the profession of gardening. They come from various locations around Ireland and in the book they share their expertise about dealing with local soil and weather conditions; hence their advice covers a diverse range of gardening situations, while explaining how to solve numerous gardening problems.

As this was the first hand book about practical gardening methods to be published in Ireland it can only be recommended to every gardening enthusiast, whether beginner or expert. If you haven't already read this book then you will find it in all good bookshops and of course you can take it out on loan from any library.
