Gavin’s garden proves a swinging success

TELEVISION gardening ace Diarmuid Gavin was pipped to the post in his quest for a prestigious gold medal yesterday at London’s Chelsea Flower Show.

Gavin’s design came second in the judging for the best show garden category, netting him a silver-gilt medal instead.

Called the Westland garden, Gavin’s design incorporated two artists’ studios and was created with a retiring couple in mind.
