As RTÉ’s Super Garden returns to TV screens this week, longtime judge Monica Alvarez shares her secret to creating a great garden — putting down the hedge clippers and pesticides, and letting nature do its thing.

The 14th season of Super Garden follows five budding garden designers as they compete in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, to create a winning outdoor space, and get the opportunity to showcase their design at Ireland’s premier garden show, Bord Bia Bloom.
