My parents went to Kenny's when they visited Ireland and said it was indeed a treasure trove. They brought some art books back for me.

I had a lovely chat with Ruth Medjber in my greenhouse today about gardening, wildlife, family and how a chance phone call changed our lives. Some laughter, a few stories, and the beginnings of what became Nature’s Acre. The book tells what happened next. 🌱 podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/s...

When I wrote Nature’s Acre, I had no idea where it might travel. Conversations about the book have reached people far beyond our little walled garden in County Meath. The kindness and encouragement have been extraordinary. You never know where a seed might land. 🌱 gardeningwell.ie/natures-acre

Ireland has wonderful independent bookshops. They champion Irish writers, bring readers together and give our towns something special. I'm celebrating some of them in this thread. ❤️ Repost to show them some love. Which Irish bookshop has a place in your heart? Tag them!

Picking up a book because its cover catches your eye. Feeling its weight. Turning the pages. Reading the first paragraph. A bookseller recommending something you'd never have discovered yourself. You can't quite recreate that feeling on a screen.

📚 Remember walking into a wonderful bookshop? The smell of coffee and paper. Shelves reaching the ceiling. Books piled everywhere. A thousand worlds waiting to be discovered. There's magic in a real bookshop. This Irish Book Week, let's keep that magic alive. ❤️🇮🇪 🧵👇

A child who visits this garden calls it “my happy place”. Another described it as “like a dreamland”. We didn’t set out to teach children to garden. We just gave them a place where life was everywhere.
