    Season 4 Episode 122 Edible Gardens Audio

    https://www.edible-gardens.net/ We are a small family run fruit and nut tree nursery in the southeast of Ireland and are passionate about the propagation of fruit, nut and unusual edible plants. Our fruit and nut tree nursery is situated on a 4.5 acre smallholding which has not been ploughed or  chemically sprayed in over 20 years and is host to diverse plant, insect and wildlife which includes the rare Tawny mining bee(Andrena Fulva). All fruit and nut tree varieties we have for sale are planted at our nursery so in time we can give first hand advice on growing each tree. We grow our fruit and nut trees without chemicals or artificial fertilizers. If we need to fertilize our fruit and nut trees we use comfrey tea, seaweed or chicken manure pellets. On the rare occasion where a fruit or nut tree becomes overwhelmed with pests we use a targeted approach and use Organic approved Pyrethrum daisy spray in the morning to avoid harming beneficial insects. Our Bareroot fruit and nut trees are grown in beds without ploughing the soil.These beds need very little added medium each year and require less water than potted plants we believe this is the most sustainable way to produce fruit and nut trees. The pots we use for berry plants and shrubs at our nursery are second hand which we collect from other nurseries.We use tall grow bags for our trees as we believe the tall bags provide the best growing environment for tree roots and avoid roots circling in the pot. We are continually looking at ways in which we can improve the sustainability of our nursery and hope in the future to be Organically certified. Anthony, Lola and Shayla.

    Season 4 Episode 120 Leonie Cornelius Audio

    Multi Award winning garden designerLeonie Cornelius Her design philosophy is shaped by a richly multicultural upbringing. Raised in Germany and Ireland, and deeply influenced by time spent living on a Greek island as a child, Leonie draws from both the precision and structure of Northern European design and the sensual, seasonal rhythms of Mediterranean life. These diverse influences inform her love for blending strong architectural forms with wild, emotive planting — a language of contrast and harmony that runs through all her work. After earning a degree in interior architecture at ATU Sligo and garden design at KLC School of Design in London, Leonie discovered her passion at the threshold between inside and out — where structured design meets wild nature. That intersection is where her work lives and breathes. Her most recent show garden, Nourish, a Gold Medal winner at Bord Bia Bloom 2025, is a perfect example: a sensory apothecary courtyard designed to offer restoration and reconnection through scent, structure, and stillness. Through every project, Leonie explores how gardens — and our everyday environments — can support presence, wellbeing, and joy. This ethos led to the creation of w|ė — Leonie’s design practice, dedicated to what she calls “wild-based living.” Through w|ė, Leonie brings together garden design, interior architecture, courses and creative collaborations — all rooted in the belief that beauty, nature and intentional design have the power to transform how we live. As the world becomes faster and more digital, Leonie’s work reminds us to come back to what is real: soil, scent, season, breath. Her gardens are not just designed — they’re felt. And in that feeling, something important happens. We remember ourselves.

Your garden is more than an outdoor space - it’s an extension of your home, a reflection of your style, and a place to slow down and breathe. My design process is rooted in understanding how you want to feel in your garden. From elegant planting schemes to architectural structure, I create immersive landscapes that evolve beautifully with the seasons. I work closely with discerning clients who appreciate fine craftsmanship, timeless design, and a stress-free experience. Whether it’s a country estate, a walled town garden, or a contemporary landscape, my approach is always personal, considered, and led by your vision.
