A Letter From Rob
I believe creating a garden should be simple, enjoyable, and accessible to everyone. With over a decade of experience in horticulture, landscape, and park management, I have seen how difficult it can be for people to find the right plants for their specific space. I started Laurel.ie to remove those barriers and make beautiful gardens affordable for everyone.
Laurel.ie is built to be the most helpful gardening brand in Ireland. Unlike sites that just provide information, this is a one-stop shop. The search and filtering tools are the best in the country, leading users directly to the ideal plants for any garden. Because every plant listed is sourced from Irish suppliers, it is possible to buy what is found directly from the site without the frustration of hunting for stockists elsewhere.
Whether starting out or gardening for years, the goal is to save you time and energy. By combining professional advice with industry leading search tools, Laurel.ie helps create spaces that are rewarding and resilient.
