Rosie uses poetic licence for design

THE latest episode of hit RTE show Super Garden got off to a nightmare start when the final contestant missed the first day of work after catching Covid-19.

Amateur gardener Rosie Alabaster was the last designer on the telly competition and surprised judges with her WB Yeats-inspired theme.

Rosie, 47, who is from England but based in Co Kildare, was the final of five garden designers to feature in the show.

She came up with a feature so novel in episode five of the latest season of the TV hit that it had never been seen on the show which is now in series 16.

Rosie's garden concept was inspired by Yeats's poem Lake Isle of Innisfree and she hopes it will take her to Bord Bia Bloom.

Her idea was to take the lake from the poem and add it to the garden as the dominant feature.
