A flavour of our work
Design Approach
We specalise in edible landscapes and wildlife friendly spaces that are planted with the planet as much as people in mind. Our gardens celebrate materials gathered as close to sites as possible (if not in them already!) and support local talent including craftspeople from chain-saw sculptors to boat builders. We enjoy opening peoples eyes up to the wonders of the wild by bringing it closer to home whether it be with a hedge full of berries for the birds, a pond to sit and watch dragonflies fly by or even a drift of dandelions welcomed into the lawn!
Bringing together diverse skill sets & experience from formal Horticultural training with the Royal Horticultural Society & an academic grounding in Zoology, Conservation & Sustainability with practical hands-on skills including; Permaculture Design, Estate & Historic Garden management with the National Trust, community gardening, horticultural therapy and ancient crafts from living willow work to dry-stone walling - we offer a unique & forward-thinking approach to breathing life into spaces.
Our showcase garden - The Garden of Re-Imagination is an open air-sketch pad of design ideas & the opportunity to re-imagine what's possible for green spaces big and small! This edible garden paradise is open for tasting between May - Sept as part of the West Cork Garden Trail with botanical themed accomodation nestled inside the grounds for escapes year round.

Testimonials
"We entrusted Two Green Shoots with the lofty task of transforming our two acre smallholding into something which had both form and function. I cannot emphasise enough how much of an undertaking this was from the start. Firstly, the landscape is challenging in itself, with steep slopes and existing structures to work around. Secondly, we had an extensive list of requirements - which including housing a number of animals, a wish-list of plants, an orchard, raised beds and so much more. Two Green Shoots were not the first designers we reached out to, but they were the only ones who actually seemed to understand what we wanted.
Kloe worked with us through the design process and we were left with a final piece that was ambitious, functional, beautifully designed, but best of all it was achievable. Thanks to the extensive recommendations made as part of the design process we were able to begin work immediately, ordering around 250 plants, trees and shrubs from local suppliers to kick-start the project. Having such a large space meant this project was going to take a bit longer, and Kloe further supported this by breaking our design into sections and giving us timelines and estimated costs to help support our budgeting and progress.
To date, we have planted over 150 trees, we are currently digging in a 30-tree strong orchard, we have the groundworks underway for a nuttery, stumpery, edible hedgerow and a large area for our new barn. We are continuing work in 2020 and are seeing excellent progress as the land transforms before us. We are so excited to complete this project and be using the amazing spaces Kloe has created - we can't wait to get them back in when we buy our next two acres!"
