BBC Gardeners World Live 2008 - From 11th June to 16th June 2008
RHS Gold Medal & Best Small Garden in Show BBC Gardeners World Live 2008
This year I have worked with fellow designer Caroline Pollard to create a show feature inside the main hall. It is a jungle garden inspired by the paintings of Henri Rousseau!
Paving from Sundowners ROC Ltd
Timber work by Timberscapes
Sculptural Iron Work by Jules Whiston
Furniture from Lloyd Loom
The garden, called 'SEA HEAR' was influenced by the sights, sounds and sensations of the coast and has a strong relaxation theme. It also included a fantastic trompe l'oeil painting by Yorkshire based artist Julie Cope.

Chelsea 2006 - A Stand for 'Original Stone Troughs'
I have also designed a stand for a Yorkshire based company, 'Original Stone Troughs' who supply genuine old stone troughs, feeders, garden ornaments and furniture. The stand featured some stunning planted troughs and genuine stonewear and had a lovely country feel, and was awarded a special commendation at Chelsea 2006.
Cost of A Design
To give a general idea of costs, a garden layout plan starts from £750 for a garden up to 100 square metres, with a package including a planting plan starting from just £850.
Waiting Times
I usually have a waiting list of up to 6 months - and at the moment I am booking designs to start in March 2009
