Fountains and blooms are the hallmarks of the Mallow Homes and Garden Show

Peter Dowdall reflects on some of the visitors to the Mallow Home and Garden Show over the years. 

This is its last year as a teenager and having gone through the changes that occur during the teenage years the Mallow Home and Garden Show is growing towards adulthood as a fine, well-developed and attractive annual event.

I think I’m right in saying that only one of the original gardens created in 1998 is still in existence and that is the Gallarus Oratory, designed by Dominick Cullinane, which has matured so beautifully into its surroundings.
