A STROLL AROUND THE GARDEN ….CENTRE
This week I visited John McDermott’s new garden centre. John (Macs Landscaping) is well known throughout the North West with over ten years landscaping experience. To add to the services John already provides, he is diversifying into the nursery plant business which will ensure that he is providing a complete gardening service to the public.
John’s new business is run from his home at Ballymagan on the outskirts of Buncrana “I have invested in a large multispan tunnel to nurture all of the annual bedding plants that will eventually fill baskets and containers to brighten up the Inishowen gardens” said John. “There is a very efficient watering system in place that covers all of the growing areas to ensure the pots do not dry out as this could do irreversible damage to the quality of the plants,” he continued.
“There has been a lot of work put into getting the garden centre set up, laying paths and preparing display areas” he added. “I have a good idea what plants grow in the North West and the choice of plants reflect this.”
“If you plan ahead and put an order in for baskets and containers they will benefit by being established in the protection of a polythene tunnel before being bombarded with our Irish summers”. I am keeping the prices low and I am only too pleased to advise anyone that has a gardening problem or would just like the right plant for the right area” he concluded.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish John every success in his new project.
LOOKING GOOD
