Special Guest - Helen Dillon
Aged 8, the family moved from Worcestershire to Perthshire. When I arrived I got out of the car and wandered up towards the wood behind the house, where there was one gigantic, solitary giant Himalayan lily, Cardiocrinum giganteum, in full flower. It was so wonderful I thought I must be dreaming.
Graham Stuart Thomas, Christopher Lloyd (both of whom used to come and stay in Sandford Road) and here in Ireland the great gardener David Shackleton.
The form of Melianthus major with the purple flushed leaves.
Robin Lane Fox, Dan Hinkley and Monty Don.
Asparagus and truffles.
Coat hangers from the cleaners which I cut in half and use to support metal labels to stop birds pulling them up.
My own advice – ‘When in doubt, throw it out…’
The moment my talk is over and I can go and buy lots of plants.
On Friday 4 May Helen Dillon will be describing to visitors to Allianz Garden Show Ireland her new venture, and the plants she simply couldn’t leave behind.
