The Old Abbey display gardens were designed by Terry O’Regan & Associates (formerly BHL Landscape Design) and were constructed in association with Tobermore Concrete Paving Products.
The display gardens are intended to illustrate a range of creative design solutions embracing a range of sites from the smallest balcony to extensive garden areas..
The display gardens are based on a series of themes including the following:
- The English Garden
- The White Garden
- The Coastal Garden
- The Woodland Garden
The spaces are designed to have a natural flow while retaining their own distinctive character.
The designs move from the more modern concepts of garden design to ideas that would be at home in a traditional garden.
The planting scheme for each garden relates to its theme. The planting themes demonstrate how to make a striking, modern and traditional cottage garden planting scheme. The woodland and the coastal garden contain plants which are suitable for these difficult climatic conditions.
The paving materials in each space demonstrate how to select hard landscaping materials to reflect the theme or location of a garden. The paving materials are all of an exceptional quality and consist of natural stone, reconstituted stone, and concrete. The concrete products have an excellent textural and colour finish. The natural stone products are all ethically sourced.
The gardens aim to broaden people’s minds to the vast potential of their outdoor space. We believe that a well designed garden and planting scheme should enhance your life and accommodate all your needs and requirements.
