Diarmuid Gavin is best recognised for his innovative and contemporary garden designs as much as his reputation for clashing with the elite of the gardening world.He has won many accolades including Silver Gilt at Chelsea Flower Show,however,arguably his biggest achievement was to popularize gardening through the medium of television and move it away from the exclusive and stultifying atmosphere of a private club.
From repressed teenager to the 'enfant terrible' of the gardening establishment,this Diarmuid Gavin's characteristically open and honest account of his inspired,infuriating (to himself and others) and chaotic road to success.
