Kildare man John Dooley has been crowned the winner of Super Garden 2024.

The garden design challenge, now in its 15th series, has once again showcased the extraordinary talents of aspiring designers from across the country

John will have his creation exhibited at Bord Bia Bloom over the June bank holiday weekend, where over a hundred thousand visitors will be able to view it.

He created a low-maintenance, sustainable and biodiverse garden for Daija and her daughters, Amanda and Amelia.

John's design accommodated Daija's scoliosis and offered an easy-to-care-for space for the family to enjoy.

John said that his wife, Liz, was the reason he took part in the competition, saying "It's more than a dream come true. I have dreamt about it, thought about it, I never would have had the courage to do it. I am so thrilled with Liz, if she had said to me, ‘John I am going to put you forward for Super Garden’, I would say ‘no way’, I wouldn't be up for it, I am glad she didn't say it to me now that we are here. For both of us it is absolutely magical."
