    Creating an ecological garden in rural Mayo.
    I am a qualified horticulturalist with a home in County Mayo in the west of Ireland.
    I am creating an ecological rich area with ponds, wetland, trees and shrubs.
    I am a keen photographer with a strong interest in landscape and habitats of the west of Ireland. I am happy so share my knowledge and take you to some stunning landscapes.
    I also am a student of landscape architecture in Dublin and would gladly share my knowledge and just as importantly, receive your knowledge.

    I am a qualified horticulturalist with experience in food production and ornamental gardening. I am also in the process of studying landscape architecture. I am happy to share my knowledge with you. I also am a keen photographer and would love to show the beauty of County Mayo. I have a knowledge of archaeology and history that I will inform you on, There is a bronze age cooking area on my site and an iron age ringfort just behind my home. The area is rich in archaeology, with an estimated 350 sites in a relatively small area.

    I am interested in people and their stories. I support LGBTQ rights and I am tolerant of religions and to those without a belief.

    The work will be around my house and can be adjusted to suit the weather and your itinerary.
    It may be labour intensive at times, but I certainly would not push anyone beyond their limits.
    The plan is to create an ecological garden and any work will also include information to why it is being done, especially to the biodiversity of the area.
