Episode 4 – Thursday 17th May, RTÉ One at 8:30 PM

After spending 17 years in Australia toiling in the corporate world Catriona Hassett has returned to her native Limerick to embark on a career in interior and garden design. Catriona wants to bring a bit of Australia to the garden of Caroline and Patrick Egan in Nenagh, County Tipperary and create an outback oasis complete with: cracked earth, red tin roofs, clay paths and aboriginal art. Caroline and Pat have always dreamed of visiting Australia but will this extreme design be the restful garden they have been looking for?!

 At their design meeting judge Gary Graham said they had never seen a garden like it on Super Garden but wondered if it would be something the Egan family could live with. On a surprise visit to the site judge Brian Burke was very critical of the lack of vegetation and said Catriona would have to try and soften some of the large structures with clever planting.  But with only a one year diploma in garden design, Catriona’s knowledge of plants is limited and she could struggle to fill the vast space.

Having taken some time off in the middle of the build, Catriona is now running out of time and – as exhaustion sets in – starting to have her own doubts about whether the Egans really are going to love her striking but austere design.

Is it really a garden that can work in the middle of County Tipperary or has she imposed her own artistic vision on a couple who just wanted a restful space to relax in? Catriona may have created a potentially memorable show garden but the Egan’s reaction might determine whether she gets it to Bloom.
