They were featured on UTV as well as getting the admiration of visitors. The judging panel was myself, the wonderful and unique Helen Dillon and Reg Maxwell, former Head of Botanic Gardens, Belfast.<\/p>\n<p>The winner of the competition was \u2018Room for all Seasons\u2019 by Michael O\u2019Reilly and Maurice Maxwell.
