2013 was a busy year for Landform at the Chelsea Flower Show!

In May this year Landform were involved in two Show Garden builds, one Fresh Garden design and a trade stand design & build winning two GOLD medals, one SILVER GILT medal and the Crystal Trophy respectively!

The Homebase garden is a modern family garden and has been created with a small family in mind, providing them with a space to enjoy an everyday connection with their food and with nature. It is designed for gardening, relaxation and entertaining, whilst also providing a habitat that encourages wildlife. Features in the garden included contemporary dry stone walling, water rills, a pergola and a wooden beehive. Plants included many vegetables from Barnsdale, fruit trees and perennials:

The RBC Blue Water Garden was a vision of an urban rooftop garden integrating a recreational space with innovative biodiversity and habitat features. The garden featured a central wetland area crossed by a winding sweet chestnut boardwalk, galvanised metal walk-ways, roof furniture and a ‘bird hide’ with habitat panels. Nigel’s zonal planting included such colourful plants as Aquilegia canadensis, Meconopsis cultivars, Thalictrum ‘Black Stocking’ and Verbascum phoenicium ‘Violetta’:

A Vande Moortel SeptimA Olive clay paver path, wound through the planting and a Gaze Burvill may thrown and table provided a point from which to relax and view the garden:
