Debbie Brophy (41), Kildare based but originally from Laois, is designing a garden for young family Anju, Jaison and son Steve (aged 3). ). The homeowners have asked Debbie for a nature friendly family garden that is also low maintenance, and suitable for their young son Steve to have friends over to play. Debbie hopes to impress the judges with her ‘bee happy’ wildlife garden, inspired by a honeybee colony that moved into her own garden last year. She has just completed her postgraduate diploma with the Garden Design Academy, and holds a degree in Fine Art painting.
