‘Elevated’ garden planned for city in tourism drive

THE hanging gardens of Babylon could be coming to Cork.

The Irish Examiner has learnt Fáilte Ireland, in conjunction with Cork City Council, is in talks to permanently locate a most unusual “elevated” garden in the city centre in the hope it will turn out to be a major tourist attraction.

The garden is being designed by Diarmuid Gavin and will be unveiled at the Chelsea Flower Show, which will be held in London from May 26-28.
