IRISH PEACE GARDEN INAUGURATION
On Sunday 8th September 2019, the Irish WW1 Centenary Peace Garden, located in the Hauts de France Somme region of Northern France, was officially inaugurated. It was designed and realised by Irish garden designer Peter Donegan. The opening of the garden was joined by hundreds of visitors including the Irish in France association, Bernard Musset (Sous Prefet de Peronne et de Montdidier) and Gilbert Fillinger of Art et Jardin HDF.
The Jardins de la Paix (Gardens of Peace) are a series of permanent gardens on the site. Donegan was one of 14 international designers selected by a French jury to represent Ireland to design the garden in the grounds of the 13th Century castle. Donegan told HC, “To represent Ireland or your country at anything is without question very much an honour. But I don't believe anyone including I ever imagined it would be possible doing something that I have studied and have done all my life (horticulture), let alone in the design of a garden and certainly not for something at a level such as this, it's location and the reasoning behind. When one considers just what this means to a town, a country and a place that has suffered so greatly and then as I had hoped the garden would do, to see people smile there... It really is something quite special.” Donegan Garden Design and Landscaping has been established since 2001. More at www.doneganlandscaping.com ✽
WHITE’S AGRI OFFERING ORGANIC/ INORGANIC FERTILISERS, BIO-STIMULANTS & BIOLOGICAL REMEDIES
Whites-Agri are a leading supplier to the amenity & edible horticultural Sectors. Ger Doran tells HC ”We provide a comprehensive range of seed, organic/inorganic fertilisers, biostimulants & biological remedies. We are proud that we back up all of our offered solutions with support not just from our agronomic consultants but also offer comprehensive soil audits & tissue analysis. Our philosophy is to provide a holistic approach, known as ‘Systemic Acquired Resistance’. This system, helps the plant to build up its own immune system to disease & insects.”
Two new exciting products they are proud to be working with is a new form of liquid nutrition based on Amide Nitrogen feeding system.
FLEX LIQUIDS
When utilising complex chemistry nitrogen is bonded in an Amide form allowing a complete range of macro and micro nutrients to be supplied to the plan where they are steadily and effectively released and can be rapidly assimilated.
S CHELATES
SB S-Chelate range of foliar applied macro & micro nutrients. These highly efficient chelates are improved through organic chelation. Their chelating agent is produced through a biological fermentation process instead of a synthetic chemical process and is less bioaccumulative than other chelated systems. The uptake thereafter is comprehensive and effective in a wide pH range via leaf or soil application. More at www.whitesagri.com ✽
