RTE Super Garden winner Debbie says triumph 'means the world'

- BY CIARA O'LOUGHLIN

THE winner of RTE's Super Garden said it “means the world” that her creation will be seen by more than 100,000 people at Bloom.

Debbie Brophy was elated as she was announced as the winner of the coveted TV contest last night.

Originally from Laois but based in Kildare, the garden enthusiast wowed judges with her Bee Happy wildlife garden.

Inspired by a honeybee colony that moved into her backyard last year, Debbie created a fun and vibrant garden for young family Anju, Jaison and their three-year-old Steve.

They asked for a low-maintenance space that could be enjoyed by their son and his friends — and that's exactly that Debbie delivered.

She paved the front of the garden for entertaining space and designed a series of hexagonal flower beds filled with pollinating plants to fit with the theme.
