A Kildare man has been declared the winner of RTE's 2024 Super Garden.
Under the watchful eyes of judges Kerrie Gardiner, Monica Alvarez, and Brian Burke, five designers were given three weeks, and a budget of €15,000, to design and create spectacular gardens.
It has been announced that the 2024 Super Garden winner is Kildare man, John Dooley.
Named 'Back to the Future', John's garden created a low-maintenance, sustainable, and bio diverse garden for Daija and her two daughters, Amanda and Amelia. John's design accommodated Daija's scoliosis and offered an easy-to-care-for space for the family to enjoy.
Originally from Latvia, Daija has been in Ireland for over 20 years, and says she is delighted to have someone to design a garden as she had started to do it but was unable to complete it due to her scoliosis.
John, a former farm manager with a lifelong passion for gardening, says that gardening is therapy for him, he loves to do gardens for people in his area and takes care of the church grounds in his local area.
