Super Garden 2018 is here and we're proud to sponsor the show again and to have our Band Ambassador Brian Burke as our super judge! We have Episode 1 covered for you here in case you missed!

Episode 1 - Homeowners Marian Jordan, Cork City, Designer Joanna O'Brien

Widower Marian Jordan applied to Super Garden at the behest of her children, as her impulse to spread paint around the house and garden had to be stopped! Son David (42) lives at home while her other children and grandchildren are regularly at the house to keep her on her toes. Marian has worked for decades in one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in Cork and her children feel she finally deserves a place to relax after years of putting food on the table for them.

Designer Joanna O'Brien

 

Geo engineer Joanna O'Brien from Cork has set out to change her career path after a serious heart episode four years ago forced her to be fitted with a cardiac defibrillator. No longer willing to waste her time doing something she didn't love, Jo - who is the great god-daughter of Tom Crean - left her job and now mixes travelling the world with pursuing her passion for garden design. She feels that any time is a good time to reinvent yourself and that now is theperfect time to turn her garden designer dreams into a reality! With the 'rat race' behind her, Joanna is now eager to bring her engineering meticulousness to bear on a lucky homeowner's garden. Joanna’s Super Garden design will favour a colourful Oriental theme in a bid to outshine the other four.
