We complain a Iot about the weather but our spectacular rainfall has given the country some advantages. I have been told that more people come here to visit our gardens than to play golf. I do not know if this is true because it was told to me by a very enthusiastic gardener who also has a craft shop in the middle of a beautiful garden in County Wicklow. We have spectacular gardens throughout the country and they are now open for longer periods during the year. I went to see a very famous garden in Italy last year and if one had visited the same garden here, one would have said it had a few well cut shrubs and nothing else. We have beautiful herbaceous borders all summer and magnificent trees and we need to promote those because they are unique. We should profit from what we have in the way of rainfall rather than complaining about it all the time.
