The garden designer won the top prize last week and showcased his garden, 'Past and Present,' at the Bloom festival over the weekend with his wife, Liz.

He is deeply regretted by his loving wife Liz, brothers, sisters, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbors, and a large circle of friends.

Mr.

Dooley mentioned at the Bloom festival in Phoenix Park, Dublin, last week that he was 'delighted' to have won the contest, while Liz revealed that she had entered him into the competition without his knowledge.

'I just filled out the application and told him afterward.

We are delighted, and everyone is coming up to us and congratulating us.

He is so talented; he visualizes it in his head and brings it all together.

We are over the moon with the win.

'Mr.

Dooley added, 'I'm not someone who studied this; I just do it myself and can put things together.

If you see the back garden here, it's full of vegetables like our parents used to grow.

They grew every vegetable.

We want people to plant flowers that will come back the following year, be pollinators, attract bees, and be good for the environment.
