Billy Alexander of Kells Bay House and Gardens in South Kerry, has won a gold medal at one of Britain's most prestigious garden festivals.

The RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, is second only to the Chelsea Flower show in the world of horticulture, and is running at the South London venue until Sunday.

Billy's 30-square-foot winning display was transported to London a week ago, with the help of Hannon Transport.

He describes it as a microcosm of Kells gardens, with their famous ferns, mosses, rocks and stony paths.

Judges awarded scores in criteria such as creativity, quality of plants, colour and texture.

Billy is hoping the gold medal win will inspire more people to visit Kells Bay Gardens:
