  • Newsletter 92 April 2004
    The Newsletter of the IRISH GARDEN PLANT SOCIETY ISSUE NO. 92 APRIL 2004 EDITORIAL Dear Members, It is especially good to have articles about Irish cultivars in the newsletter. Séamus O Brien, Sally O Halloran and Patrick Quigley have interesting contributions in this issue while Charles Nelson draws out attention to items of Irish interest in Graham Stuart Thomas’ posthumously published book. Three gardening events of the past while are worth mentioning as they were highly successful, featured many Irish cultivars and set a standard of excellence to be imitated: the Snowdrop Week in Altamont Gardens organised by Paul Cutler and staff, the open day as part of the RHS BicentenaryCelebration at Bob Gordon’s and Margaret Glynn’s gardens in Ballymena, both IGPS members and The Plantsmans’Day at Glasnevin, organised by Paul Maher, Séamus O Brien and staff. The highest of praise is due to all involved as they were marvellous occasions. Thankfully, the attendances reflected the excellence of the events. Encore all three? From the reports received, IGPS events throughout the country have provided a winter of excellent gardening entertainment and motivation to members. IGPS members’ gardens will surely be areas of outstanding beauty this summer. Well done, organisers! Best wishes to Dr. Donal Synnott on his retirement from the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin. His support for the IGPS has been generously given and much appreciated. May all flowers bloom profusely in his garden. Rose Sevastopulo is retiring from her position as Executive Secretary of the Society. She has been a stalwart of the Society for many years and great praise and thanks are due to her along with our best wishes for her continued involvement in gardening.

  • The Documentary Handbook
    The Documentary Handbook The Documentary Handbook takes a thematic approach to documentary, including chapters on the many myriad forms we watch today – from the cinematic releases of Michael Moore to low-budget internet efforts like Video Nation, from ‘shock docs’ to reality television. The Documentary Handbook is a critical introduction to the documentary film, its theory and changing practices. The book charts the evolution of the documentary from screen art to core television genre, its metamorphosis into many different types of factual TV programmes and its current emergence in forms of new media. It analyses those pathways and the transformation of means of production through economic, technical and editorial changes. The Documentary Handbook explains the documentary process, skills and job specifica- tions for everyone from industry entrants to senior personnel, and shows how the industrial evolution of television has relocated the powers and principles of decision-making. Through the use of professional ‘expert briefings’ it gives practical pointers about programme- making, from researching, developing and pitching programme ideas to their production and delivery through a fast-evolving multi-platform universe. Peter Lee-Wright is a documentary filmmaker with 30 years’ experience working for the BBC and Channel 4. He is currently Senior Lecturer in Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London. His most recent writing includes critical overviews of sports documentary and trade union documentary in Encyclopedia of the Documentary Film (2005) and analysis of the changes taking place in multimedia news, notably in New Media, Old News (edited by Natalie Fenton, 2009). Media Practice Edited by James Curran, Goldsmiths, University of London The Media Practice handbooks are comprehensive resource books for students of media and journalism, and for anyone planning a career as a media professional.

It’s 40 years if you count my childhood immersed in my parent’s garden, but that was always just for love. Though I appreciate my three decades are but a small slice of horticultural history an awful lot has changed. When I started in the late 8 0’s the height of fashion was miniature conifers and heathers. We’ve come a long way since then transitioning through various fashions and phases to arrive at the current trend for meadow-esq plantings, wildlife and exotic species. Take a stroll down memory lane with me to discover all the horticultural happenings of the last 3 decades and what I’ve been up to, too! 1978 – Tractor driving in my grandfather’s orchards 1983 – My first garden on my parents land in Norfolk 1990 I’d worked at the local nursery part time for years before they gave me my first full time job as a propagator and nurseryman. hat first bitterly cold winter and the root runing and otting of my first roses in a potting shed that was somehow colder than it was outside nearly broke me. But I survived and went on to learn so much about tree, shrub, conifer and rose production. • First Hampton Court Flower Show held, organised by Network Rail Southeast • Good Planting by Rosemary Verey first published • Monty Don publishes his first gardening book – The Prickotty Bush • A derelict garden was discovered, it was to become The Lost Gardens of Heligan • Five years after first opening, The Jerusalem Botanical Garden in Israel completed all works, including the conservatory, the South African section and the visitor centre 1991 – Hadlow College, Kent.
