The Flourish Garden designed by Outlook Gardens

The Ideal Home Showhouse will be set in a beautiful landscaped garden designed by award winning landscaping contractor Dermot Kerins of Outlook Gardens. 

Dermot has built many award-winning gardens at garden festivals at home and abroad including the infamous Chelsea Flower Show.

The Flourish  Garden:  a space to escape the stresses of life and reconnect with nature.   In our “always on” world, a garden can bring a welcome respite from the ever increasing demands of our busy lives.   A space where family and friends can connect and just “be”.  A place friends and family can flourish in!

The Garden will contain all the elements for outdoor living while also being a haven for plants and wildlife.  

A spacious Irish natural stone terrace with a simple glass covered pergola to allow use in all weather, an outdoor kitchen, sofa and dining area. A central reflection pool and a small kitchen garden.

The remaining space will be filled with lush planting including evergreen specimen plants for all year flower and foliage interest, plants are selected to fill the garden with a beautiful scent to enjoy and to encourage butterflies and bees.

All plants and materials in this garden will be natural and locally sourced.

The Environment and Sustainability

As a company we seek to improve people’s lives by improving their environment, we believe that plants and nature have a sub conscious impact on our overall wellbeing and that all gardens should have a primary focus on plants and nature and not on hard landscaping. A garden needs to be accessible all year to suit our climate, this is why we have included the covered area with lighting and heating (LED Heaters) a covered area is essential in our mild but often damp climate.
