In 2013, we headed down south, after we were invited to take part in RHS Hampton Court garden show.

This was an amazing experience for us. The grounds were simply stunning, with a full view of the palace each day we constructed the show garden. We were part of the "Low Cost High Impact" avenue, and only had a budget of £7,000 to build and plant the space.

A stunning cascading water feature set the scene for a dramatic 'floating' paved area. Square straight features including corten steel helped reduce the overall cost, along with perennial planting.

The judges gave us very favourable comments, awarding us a silver medal and a prime time TV slot (BBC2's Gardeners' World), with Andy Sturgeon presenting a walk through of this feature garden.
