Gardeners' World Live 2006
The creation of the garden was featured on BBC2's Gardeners' World programme. If you visited my garden at last years show I hope you enjoyed it. It took many months of planning and preparation, plus two weeks to build and just 2 days to take down!

The garden was not wasted though, as this now 'award winning garden' was re-built at the Dukeries Garden Centre near Worksop who kindly sponsored the garden.

I would like to thank everyone who helped in the creation of this show garden, with special thanks to Paula, Dawn, Kirk, Jo, Brian, John, Sue, Dave and all the staff at the Dukeries Garden Centre. 
Thank you.

 

Tatton Park Flower Show 2005
The RHS Tatton Park Flower Show 2005 was a show not to be missed.  As the North's answer to the Chelsea Flower Show, Tatton plays host to many show gardens and features, not to mention stalls and plant marquees.

Last year the Tatton Park Flower Show was where we made our debut.  The garden entitled 'Altered Outlook' was intended as a public space, which allowed people to sit and rest, amongst the exquisite planting.  The garden seated around 30 people and provided semi-private 'booths' for friends to socialise, colleagues to meet or just to get out of the office for lunch.  The gardens bright colour lead to the garden been named 'the pink garden' for the duration of the show and was a real success with both local councils and the public. The garden was awarded a silver medal.
