The winner of Super Garden gets to recreate their garden at Bord Bia Bloom, where it will represent the sponsors Woodie’s DIY and Dulux Exteriors. For the winning designer it’s a launch pad to the premier league of garden design and a chance to show what they can do while showcasing to one hundred thousand visitors at Bord Bia Bloom.

Episode 4 – May 18th

Quantity Surveyor  Colm Carty  (34) is from Warrenpoint, Co Down.  His interest in gardening started when he was 11 and he began helping neighbours with their gardens and when one of the neighbours had their garden landscaped Colm then became very interested in garden design. His other passion is GAA,  Colm was on the Down Minor team that won the All-Ireland in 2005.  Colm sees Super Garden as an opportunity to make a move into Garden Design, making his passion his work.

Colm is designing for Lee, Chelsea and their three children Freddy, Ralphy and Ivy. They would love a low maintenance garden and one that can function for adults to entertain in, and the children to be able to still play in. In this space Colm is working with a trick angle and hopes to maximise the space, but a fire pit causes some controversy.
