Very sad to hear of the passing of Seamus. From our time in the Botanics, he was horticulture personified. Everyone knew his name. Gone too soon.

Seamus was so lovely and giving with his time, I'll always remember the time he gave me a one on one tour of Kilmacurragh, he was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the garden. An excellent plantsman, and always keen to educate, I will miss him.

How sad to hear of the death of Seamus. He was such a friendly, good humoured man with a wealth of knowledge and love of plants. So much achieved by him.

Was shocked to hear of Seamus's passing. He is a huge loss to the horticultural world. He did wonderful work in Beech Park & Kilmacurragh.
My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

Having worked with Seamus as a student in the Botanic Gardens was an honour. His knowledge and kind nature always made time fly by.
Condolences to all his family and friends.

So sorry to hear of Seamus passing. We will always remember him as a quiet caring gentleman. I can still see him picking primroses on the walk home from school for his mam. Rest in peace Seamus.

Well Seamus so heartbreaking to see that genuine smile. You had a profound effect on all our family during your tenure at Beechpark Gardens. All six of us were numbed to hear of your passing may I pass on our deep condolences to your Mother Mary and gratitude to her and all your family for Seamus. The last time I met him in Killmacurra he said I was "the nicest man he ever worked for" what a compliment from this Giant among Plantsmen. It went straight to the heart. Your trips to China and Nepal while at Beechpark Gardens stand out and there are many trees and plants there as your legacy among all the legacies you have left. May you let them all go and be at peace from this passing World love from all the Mc Dermott Family
