A NEW HEAD GARDENER FOR WOOLMERS ROSE GARDEN

PASSIONATE gardener and horticulturist SUSAN GIBBONS has reently taken over the reins as Head Gardener at Woolmers Rose Garden.

Clearly filled with enthusiasm and excited about her work, Susan explained how she would like to make this such a breath-taking and inspiring garden that people would be just knocked out by its perfection. And she's working methodically (and extremely hard) to make that happen and is not at all afraid of getting her hands dirtly in the process.

At this time of year major pruning has been completed as well as feeding the roses and improving the quality of the soil. And Susan is certainly making a difference already; it's easy to see where she's been in the garden.

Luckily for Woolmers and the Rose Garden Susan is very motivated to improve everthing including the soil quality. She speaks highly of David Duggan who runs "Soil First', the supplier of soil and compost for the garden.

David is apparently just as passionate about compost as Susan is about roses!
