The Children's Society Garden

  Gold Medal

Sponsor -Children's Society

Designer - Mark Gregory

 

This garden seemed to attract the most attention at the show, especially when Chef Jamie Oliver Turned up to cook a Pizza in the stylish garden Pizza oven.

I was very lucky to then receive a slice of Jamie's Pizza straight from the oven and served up by the man himself.

If you like cooking in your garden see my page on Chimeneas and Barbeques

 

 

 

 

L'Occitane Garden

Silver Gilt Medal

Designer - James Towillis

 

 

 

 

This small but intricately detailed garden really conjured images of a hot Mediterranean day

The Tourism Malaysia Garden

Gold Medal

Designers - David Cubero & James Wong (Amphibian Designs Ltd

 

This Garden was so well designed that it created it's own climate of coolness and serenity.

 

 

 

The Amazing Japanese Garden was my overall favourite but only won a silver Gilt medal.

A greenhouse made from plastic bottles won my prize for best new idea!

 

 

The Snails still found their way in!

Twiggy made an appearance and posed in this photo for me
