The London College of Garden Design (LCGD) recently asked an international panel of speakers to choose their iconic garden of the previous decade that will, in their mind, be the gardens we will still be talking about as landmarks in garden design in 20 years-time.

We are celebrating our involvement in the fifth year of The Belvoir Castle Flower and Garden Show which runs from 15th-16th July 2023 by asking you to show us your perfect countryside border.

Our series on New Iconic Gardens of the 21st Century has been very popular as we expand our search across the UK, USA and Scandinavia. Our next port of call is New Zealand and Ben Hoyle, one of the country’s finest and best known Garden Designers.

We are delighted to be welcoming Annika Zetterman, author of the best-selling New Nordic Gardens to our webinar series this season.

Our new series of Info Bursts got off to a great start with a presentation on the Grey to Green landscape created in Sheffield. Alexa Ryan-Mills proposed that this design brining colour and sustainability to a city centre will change how we look at urban greening.

We are delighted to be supporting the Landscape Show 2022 in their second year at the NEC in Birmingham with an exciting series of talks across two days.

Over 10 years ago we invited some well-known garden personalities to choose their favourite new garden that had been created in the previous decade or so and pitch it as one of the gardens we will still be talking about as landmarks in garden design in 20 years time.

The winner of the Countryside Borders competition, sponsored by the London College of Garden Design has been announced as Katy Watson. Katy also won the People’s Vote at the Belvoir Castle Flower & Garden Show with her design for a planted border that can support wild birds in our gardens by helping them forage for themselves and to improve biodiversity in our gardens (pictured).

We were delighted to see Katherine Holland at this year’s RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival win a Silver medal for her garden ‘A Journey, in collaboration with Sue Ryder’ The garden tells a story about the range of thoughts and emotions that we confront when experiencing grief, and is designed to encourage conversation with the aim of supporting those who are grieving and the people close to them.
