Des Kingston’s winning design is a supergarden of curiosities

Valerie O’Connor marvels at the sculptures and macabre placements that make up Des Kingston’s winning design for the RTÉ series at Bloom.

Ploughing through the green-fingered fans at Bloom the macabre sculptures of the one garden that stood out from the crowd, gave me the willies, so I kept walking.

Smiling faces pointing at half of a car proudly displayed there — and an audience who seem positively excited, are very much at odds with my own reactions.
