‘Flying garden’ set for Cork landing

MAVERICK garden designer Diarmuid Gavin’s award-winning “flying garden” is expected to feature at this year’s Cork Midsummer Festival.

Gavin, 47, said the key elements of his Avatar-inspired Irish Sky Garden, which won gold at the Chelsea Flower Show yesterday, will be transported to Cork in time for the festival which runs from June 11 to 26.

It is expected it will be installed on Emmet Place.
