Garden Legends on Jimi Blake
Here's what the biggest names in gardening had to say about Jimi, after being mesmerised by what they saw at Hunting Brook.
"Hunting Brook is a garden that is endlessly beguiling and however many times you visit it, you always find something new."
Monty Don OBE
Presenter, Gardeners' World | Best-Selling Author | Editor
“What a real joy to discover both a treasure where the individual exotic plants excite and a collection that is both sensitively and imaginatively composed. All sculpted and tended by a gardener who positively overflows with enthusiasm.”
Chris Beardshaw
Garden Designer | Speaker | Author | Presenter
"To lovely Jimi, words fail me for once. Thank you for being such a huge inspiration and such a giggle. You make me love plants twice as much and all over again"
Carol Ann Klein VMH
Gardening Expert | Author | Presenter
“Hunting Brook is the best teaching venue in the country”
Denis Cotter
Celebrity Chef | Author | Owner, Café Paradiso
“A taste for the exotic, a sense of adventure and a willingness to experiment has inspired a devoted plant-hunter to transform 20 acres of Irish farmland into lush garden to showcase his impressive collection. His approach is adventurous, exotic, naturalistic and experimental.”
Paula McWaters
Country Living Magazine
Meet Jimi Blake
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.
Hunting Brook has become a perennially popular educational space for students, volunteers, allotment holders and visitors and is now known as Ireland’s most exciting and fascinating garden.
When he's not sowing seeds or propagating plants at his garden, you can see him sharing his knowledge to horticulture students and gardening enthusiasts through online courses and workshops, often engaging internationally renowned gardeners as guest speakers, as well as giving lectures at various gardening events.
Jimi's a skilled, giving teacher, sharing plant expertise eagerly. His gardening's restless and experimental, always exploring and sharing new ideas. Learn about top plant types and creative usage while making lasting friends beyond class.

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.
Marie Arnold

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.
