Super garden winner Colm Carty hopes to give up his job as a quantity surveyor to become a full-time designer after an “incredible” victory at the Bord Bia Bloom Festival.

Mr Carty 35, from Warrenpoint, Co Down, was crowned winner of RTÉ’s Super Garden and yesterday his design was one of the biggest attractions at the country’s largest garden festival at the Phoenix Park in Dublin.
