Rivals turn greenery with envy as Gavin cultivates award

CELEBRITY Irish gardener Diarmuid Gavin picked up an award for his design at the Chelsea Flower Show yesterday and found himself entangled in another row at the prestigious event.

After reportedly falling out with the designer of a neighbouring show garden, Mr Gavin was attacked for "lying" over sponsorship arrangements for his display.

Mr Gavin admitted on his BBC TV show Diarmuid's Big Adventure he falsely told Chelsea Flower Show organisers, the Royal Horticultural Society, he had sponsorship lined up.
