Announcing "low cost, high impact" Gardens at Hampton Court

The new category, which was exclusively open to members of the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL), aims to showcase a practical approach to gardens that also provide a WOW factor where visitors will be able to recreate the garden design, based on a fixed budget for hard landscaping, plant material and labour.

A total of four gardens have been selected to showcase what can be achieved for a £7k, £10k and £13k (x2) budget. Gardens from 4 APL members have been selected, with one of them being US!   

£13k Budget - ‘ Live Outdoors'

 

Created on a budget of £13,000, “live outdoors” shows that a private outdoor living space can be created even in an urban environment.  Step up through the lush planting to a raised deck, styled with comfortable furnishings and covered by a living pergola.  The pergola structure also functions as a planting channel, offering extra growing space, colour and design interest. The living wall located behind the cooking area provides vertical space to grow edible plants.

Inspiration comes from Garden House Design’s aim to create gardens for eating, cooking and socialising, with simple yet stunning planting. “live outdoors” shows that budget restrictions need not compromise great landscape design.

Visit our show garden “live outdoors” site PK/79, then stop by our retail stand PK/234 at Hampton Court Flower Show between the 3rd and 8th of July 2012.
