You know when you go and...

Yeah.

I mean, have you ever gone to, you know, a garden and gone, oh, I remember that scent, you know, from somewhere.

Yeah, something takes you back.

So lilac for me is that plant.

We used to have the only the only tree we had in the garden was lilac and then loads of irises.

That kind of brings me back.

But we have a tree in our garden at home.

They're 100 years and it's a lilac vulgaris, just an ordinary lilac.

flowers every year beautifully and it only gets better and better with time.

So when you're putting in a plant, think of not just now, think of the future.

Think of how it's going to be in 20, 30, 50 years time.

Beautiful plants.

And they cost you very little at the time and they give so much back over the years.

So that's one of them.

But wisteria would be another one.

Beautiful, you know, plant, wall plant or over a pergola.

But every time people see them, they're taking photographs of them because they're just so glorious in the sunshine when you see them and all the beautiful panicles of flowers.

Yeah, of course.

You see, the likes of Dublin Bay.
