Ireland's top amateur garden designers

RTE’s Super Garden is now in its ninth year and is looking for start-up landscapers, amateur gardeners or horticulture students to take part. The show follows five emerging garden designers as they compete for the honour of having their show garden exhibited at Bloom by Bord Bia, Ireland’s premier garden festival.

All five designers are given similar sized gardens to work with, but each with a very different brief. They must be able to bring their ideas to fruition and build a high quality garden design to meet the requirements of real homeowners with real gardens.

World at Bloom 2017

With just four weeks and a budget of €5000 to design and build their garden, the five budding designers will be taking on a serious challenge. The winner gets the chance to stand among the top designers in Ireland and the world at Bloom 2017, where their garden will be recreated for over 100,000 visitors to enjoy.
