This week's jobs around the garden

There’s a very special open garden this afternoon, from 1pm to 6pm.

The garden of Bruno Nicolai, Castle Road, Blackrock, Cork, is an eye-opener as to what can be achieved in a small space.

This garden is notable not just for being a collection of rare and unusual exotic plants, but more importantly, as a stunning example of good design and thoughtful use of plants and planting.
