Former cop in running to win RTE’S Super Garden

- BY CIARA O'LOUGHLIN

GROUND FORCE

A RETIRED policewoman who always had a green finger turned her hobby into a career after leaving the force.

Belfast-based Eileen Sung, 72, was the second garden designer featured on RTE One’s Super Garden last night.

Viewers saw her transform Vasile and Sarah's undecorated back garden into a gorgeous green space perfect for their three-year-old Francesco and baby on the way.

Before coming to her passion of gardening, Eileen had a varied and exciting career.

After leaving school at 19, she worked as a police officer in Hong Kong before returning to Belfast where she worked as a clerk for the Northern Ireland Assembly.
