The Carlow Garden Festival is delighted to welcome Jimi Blake, one of Ireland’s most celebrated plantsmen to Delta Sensory Gardens Carlow 2026 on Monday 27th of July for a talk “Creative Plant Combinations Through the Seasons in Hunting Brook Gardens” that promises to inspire gardeners of all levels.
Jimi, the creator of the renowned Huntingbrook Gardens in County Wicklow, has built a reputation for his bold planting style, rich colour palettes and ever-evolving borders that showcase plants at their very best. In this engaging talk, he takes audiences on a virtual journey through Huntingbrook, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the borders that have made it one of Ireland’s most admired and frequently visited gardens.
Sharing his personal favourites along the way, Jimi presents the top plants that bring structure, movement and long-lasting interest to his garden, from striking perennials to unexpected combinations that create depth and drama. His approach is both creative and intuitive, demonstrating how gardens can be constantly refreshed and reimagined through thoughtful planting.
