Today Mary is chatting to Edward Dee. This was the hardest interview to set up as Eddie was not keen to get in front of the microphone!
Eddie is the phenomenal plantsman at Burren Nature Sanctuary. A truly passionate nature lover he has been planting a forest garden at his home for the last 33 years and in 2012 became the gardener at Burren Nature Sanctuary.
Eddie has single handedly developed the collection of Burren Flora in the Burren Botany Bubble, which is now an important resource for the new National Native Seed Bank in the National Botanic Gardens, in Glasnevin. With initial forecasts of success thin on the ground he has propagated and managed to display even the most fragile of our Burren Orchids. The collection is important for conservation and education and in 2019 over 30,000 people visited the Burren Botany Bubble to learn about and experience, in a 'Leave No Trace' fashion, the flora of the Burren- the most biodiverse place in Ireland.
