It's easy to use Plants for Winter Colour in the Garden and to create pots full of winter colour and beauty to brighten up the dark evenings.

It's that amazing time of the year when the trees and our landscape in general start to change and we are treated to the annual colour display of Plants for Autumn Colour. It's quite breathtaking to see the entire landscape painted in the magical colours of nature. Reds, russets, bronze and yellow, all colours are represented during this fabulous season as Plants for Autumn Colour put on their seasonal clothes before dropping them once more for the winter. In this video I talk with Daithi on the RTE Today Show in Ireland about this wonderful PLants for Autumn Colour

To maintain a good, healthy, green and moss free lawn does require a bit of time and effort. But what it doesn’t need is chemicals. The best way to ensure a moss free lawn with no moss is by sustaining, good, healthy grass growth. Have a look as The Irish Gardener, Peter Dowdall shows how to remove moss from the lawn. To achieve that, we need to go back to basics. Grass needs: Well drained soil Slightly alkaline pH To maintain this: Aerate Scarify and Apply Lawn Gold Winter Protect soon

Have you been enjoying the fabulous autumn colour out there this year. Had a great chat with Daithi on RTÉ Today during the week about what causes this...

The two most common problems with growing roses are Rose Blackspot and Rose Mildew.

Have a look at some environmentally sound and sustainable ways of keeping slugs and snails away from plants. Copper Tape, Pet Friendly Slug Pellets and Natural Repellants are all possibilities as are Beer Traps and more

Did you know that Indoor Plants work better than any electrical or chemical air freshener as many of them purify the air and are thus great for Asthmatics and others with breathing problems. They increase oxygen levels inside and are great in terms of employee wellness as well as just making the office/home a more attractive place to be. Plants clean the air through photosynthesis turning the CO2 that we exhale into clean Oxygen A NASA experiment in 1989 found that Indoor plants help to clean the environment of cancer causing compounds such as Formaldehyde and Benzene The micro organisms in the soil of the indoor plants can also play their part in cleaning the air

Beauty in the garden doesn’t only come from flowers. Plants which provide attractive foliage can bring just as much drama and impact to your garden as flowering plants. All the plants which I use in this video are evergreen which means that they bring their magical colour to your garden during each of the twelve months of the year and don’t just provide interest over a few short months.
