The garden designer’s house has been completely redesigned and redesigned and now includes a breathtaking wrap-around porch with a 2 meter high platform terrace and a multitude of beautiful flowers.
As Ireland’s expert in gardening, you would expect Diarmuid Gavin’s garden to be amazing. What you cannot rely on, however, is the fact that it also has Dermot Bannon architectural flair.
The Dubliner recently shared before and after pictures of his house in Wicklow and the transformation is mind-boggling.
What was originally a fairly typical single-family home has been converted into a plantation-style home similar to what you might see in Georgia or Louisiana.
Diarmuid designed and developed a stunning wraparound porch with salvaged columns from the Jervis Street shopping mall.
The veranda has a 2 meter long platform terrace that stretches across the entire width of the property and has become a living space for the garden designer and his family. The transformation is really extraordinary.

The porch makes a perfect vertical garden full of climbing plants. Lush tree ferns dominate, along with a stunning white wisteria that has scaled the pillars.
Prehistoric-looking echias tower over the garden, cheerful pink azaleas call for your attention, as do astilbes, geraniums and everything in between.

Last year Diarmuid has been busy bringing us the happy Garden Conversations on Instagram with the right hand Paul Smyth, a nightly live broadcast devoted to the education of gardeners and would-be gardeners.
In addition, he recently opened Outdoor Spaces in Monkstown, a garden shop cooperation with Dunnes Stores.
