Your Garden Made Perfect
You may recognise me from various TV and Media appearances with the latest showcasing my designs as one of the members of the Garden Design Team on the BBC’s “Your Garden Made Perfect”.
The programme features Pip Probert, Helen Elks-Smith, Manoj Malde, Joel Bird, Tom Massey, Tayshan Hayden-Smith, Oliver Bond, and Steve Williams, with Angela Scanlon presenting.
I was able to create practical gardens demonstrating everyday materials, used in a bespoke way, creating gardens unique to each client.
A wonderful experience and one I hope to repeat in the future, to continue allowing people to understand the design process better.
