Super Garden

Dermot O'Neill presents this series about five amateur garden designers who compete to showcase their garden at the 2009 Bloom Festival.

Super Garden Mentor and Gardening Expert, Dermot O'Neill, is on hand to offer our amateurs advice and issue warnings throughout. On the final day, work stops in the garden, and the Super Garden panel of judges comprising Gary Graham (Project Manager of Bloom) Mary Reynolds (Ireland's only Gold Medal winner at Chelsea) and Tycho Mays (Professional Garden Designer) arrive to inspect the garden and mark each on Originality, Impact, Planting and Quality of Finish. With just five weeks and a budget of €10,000 it proves to be quite a challenge.

The winner of Super Garden will be announced on the sixth and final episode of the series, when all the designers and judges will meet in a more convivial atmosphere in the Botanic Gardens. The prize will be awarded to the amateur voted Super Garden designer 2008, and with it the life-changing opportunity to show their own garden design at the prestigious Bloom Garden Festival 2009 and take their first step into the world of professional garden design.
