School’s hurling-inspired garden proves a winner

A small but perfectly formed garden created by pupils from Villierstown National School in Waterford has been given top marks at Bloom by Bord Bia, Ireland’s largest garden festival.

The children were awarded Best in Show for their Dromana Gate and Lost Sliotar garden depicting a game temporarily stopped while players look for a sliotar in a futuristic Dromana Gate Garden.

Best in Show for amateur postcard gardens at Bloom went to Villierstown National School.
