Jimi Blake is a self-proclaimed “Plantaholic”, a Gardening Consultant, International Lecturer, Author of "A Beautiful Obsession", and Visionary Creator of Hunting Brook Gardens.
He developed a passion for gardening at a very young age from his mother and was formally trained at the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin as a horticulturist.
Not soon after, Jimi was appointed Head Gardener at Airfield Gardens in Dundrum, Dublin at a young age. There, he gained notoriety when he resuscitated a large Victorian garden to its former glory, enabling the public to rediscover and enjoy a lost gem.
After 12 years at Airfield, he bought 20 acres of land not far from where he was born and established the Hunting Brook Gardens which gained popularity among gardening legends and hobbyists alike. Today, he spends his time innovating new ideas at Hunting Brook and continues to develop his vision in new directions, always pushing the boundaries of his knowledge.

I took Jimis plant course in 2018, the best thing I ever did. He taught me plant combos, year-round colour, critical eye for change. His passion is infectious, it was marvellous. I'd recommend to others.

Can online match in-person? Jimi's videos are great, miss garden scent and Doris/Billy. Huge content, pace control, plant list, and excitement with new varieties. Jimi's Instagram box openings = magic! Infectious enthusiasm = positive online vibe.
