GLDA Show garden workshop with Mark Gregory and Orla Woods at the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Saturday October 9th


Event introduction 

“It’s Show Time”

The creation of a show garden is a right of passage for all garden designers. 

For some they represent the tentative first steps into the commercial reality of design, for others they’re a stage to play out a lifetime’s experience. To the public they’re a magnet; a catwalk for exterior design where future trends are set, perceptions are tested and where lifestyle aspirations are brought to life. The show garden is a corner stone in every designer’s life and career.

The creation of a show garden is no easy task, if it were, we all be making them. To realise a show garden will demand heavily of mind, body and soul, it will test patience, spirit and commitment to the limit, while draining finances and eating up time. For the dab hand they’re an immense challenge, for ill informed and inexperienced they often prove too much. 

If you’re a designer - aspiring, experienced or otherwise - looking to raise your profile, share your talents or come of age, then the upcoming GLDA workshop is a must attend event. It’s Show Time is a daylong event, taking place on Saturday 9th of October at the National Botanic Gardens, which will feature two luminaries of garden creation. Mark Gregory is a 12 time Chelsea gold Medal winner, he has built over 60 show gardens, is the recipient of numerous industry awards and is a judge for Bloom in the Park. Orla Woods needs no introduction, a multi award winning plantswoman, she has built a hugely successful career spanning the last two decades and encompassing international garden events, stage setting for film production and show garden displays. Perhaps most highly regarded for her plant-orientated skills, she is responsible for creating displays for many of Ireland’s top designers. 

Maximise the rewards and minimise the challenges of show garden creation with It’s Show Time, the GLDA’s autumn workshop. For further information or to book your seat, contact Annette McCoy on, phone: 01 2940092 Fax: 01 2948043, email: info@glda.ie or visit www.glda.ie
