Peter Dowdall launches new website for gardening enthusiasts in Ireland

Nov. 11, 2009 - PRLog -- Peter Dowdall has over 20 years experience in gardening in Ireland and abroad. He is a regular on television, radio and in print throughout Ireland and the UK and his first gardening book is being published in Ireland in the Spring of 2010.

His new  website offers gardeners and non-gardeners alike information on all issues related to gardening in Ireland. Peter’s blog and forum will make up much of the site. The site will attract a large online community of gardeners and people interested in gardening. Ireland is a country where gardening is really beginning to take off and in particular ‘grow your own’ kitchen gardening.

http://Peterdowdall.com promises to be very informative offering suggestions on how to get the best results from gardening and how to overcome any problems people will encounter in the garden. There are already websites dealing with issues relating to gardening, Ireland however has recently experienced a huge growth in interest in gardening and those websites are only now catching up.

Peter Dowdall is a trusted figure in the world of gardening in Ireland because of his no-nonsense attitude and his expertise and knowledge.  His new website will offer detailed     information and guidance to gardeners so it's sure to be a huge success.

Peterdowdall.com will offer visitors advice on products for the garden. He will review both tried and tested products as well as brand new ones. Problem solving and answering gardening questions will be very much part of the site and Peter will recommend solutions and gardening products to tackle individual problems.

Peter has a love for gardening that stretches back to when he used to wander around the garden as a child with his mother; taking cuttings and sowing seeds; and filling beds and pots with plants that just weeks later would be a blaze of colour. Peter's attitude to gardening is very straightforward: “don’t be scared of the garden, give it a go. Don’t be put off by all the technical terms and the Latin names, just remember how simple it all is: you put a plant or a seed in the ground and it grows, after that it’s all just extras. If I can impart a love for gardening on just one person in Ireland then this website will be a success.”

Peter is enthusiastic about the new launch: “if you are new to the world of gardening then get ready because you have hours, days, weeks, months and years of pleasure and satisfaction awaiting you on your voyage of discovery. That voyage starts with Peterdowdall.com.”

This website aims to share with readers the basic tools, techniques and principles of how to create and maintain a beautiful garden through the seasons of the year. It uses straightforward, no-nonsense language and advice, along with photographs showing the practicalities of gardening. At the heart of the website lies a DIY ethic that applies not only to the garden, but also to living.

Peter believes that we are intrinsically linked to plants and the natural world and the survival of plants and the natural world is intrinsically linked to us. As a gardener he feels it's very important that we leave the planet in a better condition than when we found it. With that in mind gardeners should work hand in hand and symbiotically with nature as opposed to fighting against it.

A five-year battle with cancer in his twenties gave Peter an entirely new view on life and living and the vital link between himself and nature around him. He believes that it was nature that helped him to heal; from the tree he could see through his hospital room window that taught him to appreciate each passing season, to the herbs that naturally eased his discomfort, to the overwhelming desire to get back outside gardening. Ireland will benefit from this passion. There's a new world of gardening with peterdowdall.com
