Season 1

Documentary following gardener Dermot O'Neill as he tries to live the simple life and grow his own food. Following the repossession of his home, he spends the money he has left on a derelict cottage and its walled garden in Co Laois. However, his restoration plans are interrupted when he is diagnosed with cancer.

Dermot O'Neill is released from hospital after spending three months battling cancer. He is anxious to return to the walled garden at Clondeglass in Co Laois, where friends have organised a surprise.

Work in the garden continues, but Dermot O'Neill is not happy when there is a hold-up in the cottage. He also takes time out to visit the Annual Bloom Festival in Phoenix Park.

Dermot O'Neill visits a walled garden in Raphoe, Co Donegal, which has been restored by Gerry Robinson and his wife Heather. Back in Clondeglass, everything seems to be going well during a busy time, only for the gardener's health to take another turn for the worse.

The true extent of the damage caused by the June rains is revealed as Fiann discovers the entire heritage potato crop has been wiped out by blight. However, he and Dermot are not perturbed by this and set up a `Save the Spud' campaign at the Coco Markets in Dun Laoghaire. The duo must also replenish the Potager area by the cottage in Clondeglass and Dermot travels to Glenveagh's walled garden for inspiration, before the pair share a cider root stew.

Dermot O'Neill visits fellow gardener and artist Thelma Mansfield and hosts an end-of-year party for the friends who have helped him through his first 12 months at Clondeglass. Last in the series.
