VIDEO: Irish designer’s garden claims gold at Chelsea Flower Show

It’s the world championship of gardening and Ireland has just won gold.

Ireland’s top garden designer, Paul Martin, constructed his Garden of Mindful Living on the Main Avenue at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea and yesterday morning received the coveted Chelsea Gold Medal.

As Martin is quick to point out, this is a team effort and many from the world of Irish horticulture are involved; a number of the prize-winning plants were grown in Schram Plants, Co Kildare, and the stone came from McMonagle Stone in Donegal.
