Gerry Daly

In late 1991, Daly co-founded the magazine The Irish Garden with Mary Davies and Nick Maxwell. As of 2018, it is the highest-circulation gardening magazine in Ireland, with a readership estimated at over 60,000. Daly was joint editor with Mary Davies until 2006, before becoming sole editor in 2007. He is also the editor of the associated website, garden.ie, launched in 2001.

In 1989, Daly set up a private garden design consultancy, working from his home in Co. Wicklow. He also launched a nursery producing trees and shrubs.

Daly appeared on RTÉ from 1984 to 1995, leading the Room Outside programme team. From 1991 to 1995, he was also lead presenter of Greenfingers for RTE and BBC Northern Ireland. Both programmes achieved high audience figures. Co-presenters on Greenfingers included horticultural scientist and weed specialist David Robinson and Crosbie Cochrane.

Daly joined Irish national broadcaster RTÉ as a senior producer in 1979, and designed the Ask About Gardening radio show.

Daly took a First Class Honours Degree in Horticulture at University College Dublin (UCD) in 1977, and a master's degree in Agricultural Economics at the same institution in 1978.
