March 22, 2016 This is a series about Dermot O'Neil's drive to self-sufficiency - this is his dream, his passion or some might say madness!
After losing his home and nearly all his money he buys Clondeglass Walled Garden with what he has left. The problem is that the cottage and accompanying garden are in ruin. Taking on the restoration of a derelict nineteenth century property is a lot of work for one person with little or no money.
