Diarmuid Gavin’s West land Magical Garden: the journey begins.
*******
My gardening hero, Diarmuid Gavin made a series of short videos documenting the progress of his Chelsea Flower Show entry for 2012. Diarmuid's 2012 project was as ever, controversial. Known as 'Diarmuid Gavin's magic pyramid' by some and as 'his enormous erection by others'. The theme behind the project is based on the principle of vertical gardening and the ideology of shared green space in urban environments. Diarmuid says the new design is inspired by ideas of sustainability and city
living, as well as the cramped apartment blocks from Hitchcock's Rear
Window. Apart from the fact that Rear Window is one of my all time favorite films.
I am including this video for a couple of reasons. Firstly because I genuinely admire Diarmuid's approach to garden design. He will always come up with something thought provoking. Secondly because we share a love of the Wicklow landscape, notice the breath taking view of the Sugar Loaf in the background. Thirdly because my garden actually features in some background clips, watch out for the wildest looking garden in Wicklow apart from Diarmuid's own that is.
