I'm not the biggest gardening guru, so I can't provide the expert's opinion of Gardenworks as a…read moregardening centre. However from the point of view of a mere human, Gardenworks is a rather impressive establishment. For starters, it's massive. Beautiful exterior, airy interior, chock full of garden and household goodies, and large nursery section out the back. I was quite impressed that they have a food and wine section (?!?) with a great variety of snacky, gourmet eats. They also have a fairly sizeable section for dog owners... sweet! Gardenworks is a great place to visit if you're planning a complete garden revamp, or simply if you want to grab some hip and happening utensils for your next barbecue. They also have an impressive (read: expensive) selection of outdoor furniture, some of which really took my fancy. The best thing is on Sundays (every 2nd I think) they have a BBQ - so bring the whole family along. And for those single girls out there - there's a bit of eye candy on offer here, if you like the strong, muscly type...

I was horrified this morn, half way through September, to hear an ad on the radio for Christmas…read moreparties... the first Christmas ad of the season... good god, where did that last year go? Anyway as I mulled over all things festive I happened to be on Sandymount avenue and there are the gates to Enable Ireland and their great little garden centre where I have gotten our Christmas tree for the last 4 years. I wander in, and realise that there is more here than trees and plants; they have garden tools and pellets, compost and oddly enough a selection of posters saying things like you 'don't have to be crazy to work here' yada yada yada. They also have a display of Ballydongan pottery (nope, never heard of it either) jolly nice as it happens. The garden centre is part on Enable Ireland so when you shop there you are not only getting some very nice greenery (or dodgy plaques/posters) but your cash is doing some extra good.... which is nice.

...and one day i found myself really getting into the gardening thing…read more.. but alas, i needed supplies. SUPPLIES!!! and my searches all ended up in tiny TINY little places where i had to dig underneath things to find other things and generally didn't find many things i needed at all. so imagine my thrill at finding Avenue Garden Centre. not only is it larger than a cupboard, they have loads of things. they have an entire area dedicated to ginormous bags of compost. another area just for pots. short of flying back to the america and going to home depot, it's the best garden store i've found within throwing distance of city centre. yes, i'm sure there are more magical places out in the burbs, but please people, i don't have a car and i don't fancy hauling 50kg bags of compost around on the LUAS. i'm sure you can understand. i was able to get there on DART, find the things i needed (and then some) and hail a nice lady cabbie (i know, right?) to get it all back to the house for me. luckily, i also had Husband with me to do the heavy lifting. oh i should also mention that the staff was also extremely helpful and friendly. i didn't feel like a complete retard asking them for help. that's a bonus in my book :)

Plantagen, the name reminds me of a cartoon warrior that uses plankton to destroy her enemies. But…read moreit's not, its a cute garden centre opposite Malahide Castle. It probably has the coolest version of the chain coffee shop Insomnia that I have seen, it's in a thatched house. My friend laughed at my awe and thought it was tacky but he's a fool anyhow - it's in a thatched house people, that's like McDonalds in a mosque. I'm not a plant person but I want to be so I started small and got some purple daisy looking things for 99c, they are probably weeds but pretty weeds. I saw a baby Christmas tree there too for €45 which seems steep to me, but then this whole plant thing is a whole new world to me. I think I will get it.

The Yard did the flowers for our wedding (May 2024) and I cannot praise Una enough. I'm not…read moresomebody who would know the names of flowers; I just had a very basic idea of what I wanted. Una really listened and made brilliant suggestions. My bouquet was stunning and she made a very sweet mini bouquet to mirror it for my little girl. The groom, best man and the two fathers were really happy with their button-holes. The flowers for the tables and for dressing the venue were all really beautiful too. She even made two small, beautiful arrangements to dress the wedding cake, all at a reasonable price. Una was warm, friendly, calm and super-efficient and did all this at quite short notice without batting an eyelid. She was great; I highly recommend The Yard.
