Apart from plants, my other big passion is teaching. I love sharing my knowledge and passion for plants with other plant and gardening enthusiasts. I hold a number of in person courses here in my gardens at Hunting Brook throughout the year.

“Jimi is a great teacher, enthusiastic and generous with his immense knowledge of plants and how to grow them. He’s a restless and experimental gardener, always pushing boundaries and looking for new ideas to try and to share, which means that on the Plantsperson’s Course in Hunting Brook you are introduced to the best in plant varieties and creative ideas on how to use them. In and above the plants, the course offers a great day out in beautiful west Wicklow with the time to enjoy new gardening friends who have continued to meet up long after the course finished.”
