Bear's Wild Corner
Bear’s Wild Corner was created for RTÉ’s Super Garden as a jungle sensory garden designed specifically for Maria and her son Bear.
The brief was to transform a small outdoor space into something practical, inviting and full of character. The garden combines lush, jungle-inspired planting with smart design details and a cosy corner for Maria and Bear to relax in.
With layers of bold foliage, soft textures, outdoor lighting and a strong connection between the house and garden, Bear’s Wild Corner shows how even a compact garden can feel immersive, personal and full of life.
Edible and Accessible, 2025 Board Bia Bloom Postcard Garden Awarded a distinction
I designed ‘Edible and Accessible’ for St Michael’s House to showcase inclusive, sensory-rich solutions that make gardening more accessible for people with disabilities. From custom raised beds and ergonomic tools to Lámh signage and interactive planting walls, the garden reflects my commitment to creating spaces where everyone can connect with nature, grow their own food, and feel a sense of independence and joy.

Boy's National School, 2025
I designed this sensory garden, transforming a waterlogged school space into a vibrant, year-round play and learning area. Centred around a Geodesic dome to provide a quiet space for the boys to escape the hustle and bustle of school life.
A dry riverbed adds visual interest while aiding drainage, with zones for sound, touch, and imaginative play. Natural materials and colourful elements encourage exploration, creativity, and sensory engagement.
Adult Day Care Centre Garden Rejuvenation Project
I led the rejuvenation of the garden at an Adult Day Care Centre, transforming an overgrown space into a vibrant and welcoming outdoor area for service users. With the generous donation of over 300 plants from the RHSI and a local gardening club, I carefully assessed and placed each plant to ensure it thrived in its new location.
I also coordinated a team of over 25 volunteers, assigning tasks and guiding them throughout the day. The result was a completely refreshed garden that now provides a calm, sensory-rich space for users to enjoy and connect with nature.
