BALI WINNERS TO CREATE SHOW GARDEN AT GARDENING
SCOTLAND 2010
02/02/2010 THE Edinburgh-based landscapers who
have just won the British Association of Landscape
Industries (BALI) coveted ‘Grand Award’
are to create a show garden at Scotland’s
national gardening show.
Water Gems (Alba) Ltd, in collaboration with designer
Carolyn Grohmann of Secret Gardens, will use Rebar,
the steel rods used in the construction industry,
to create the ‘Reinforcing Nature’
garden at Gardening Scotland 2010.
The garden will feature a natural pond surrounded
by drifts of Astrantia, Stipa ‘Wind Whispers’
and Ranunculus supplied by Binny Plants of Ecclesmachan
and the Rebar will form a woven ‘ribbon’
that will thread through the water before rising
up to form a shelter and a walkway.
Nick Benge, managing director, Water Gems said:
“This is a large and ambitious Show Garden
but we have the necessary technical skills and
the planting expertise to pull it off and it will
be exciting to create something very special for
our home audience so soon after winning the BALI
Grand Award.”
Jim Jermyn, show manager, Gardening Scotland said:
“We are delighted to be welcoming the BALI
Grand Award winners to Gardening Scotland 2010
and in a year when the standard of Show Gardens
is set to be the highest in the event’s
11 year history, we are confident that Watergems
along with Secret Gardens and Binny Plants will
come up with something exceptional.”
Other Show Gardens already confirmed for Gardening
Scotland 2010 include a ‘City Slicker’
garden by Primo Landscaping; a celebration of
their own Avant Garden festival by Dougal Philip
and Lesley Watson of New Hopetoun Gardens and
a garden on behalf of the Enable charity by Naturally
Inspired Gardens.
Meanwhile Crug Farm Plants from North Wales is
among a long list of new nurseries set to exhibit
in The Dobbies Floral Hall.
Sue and Bleddyn Wynn-Jones who run Crug Farm Plants
are renowned plant hunters who have introduced
many new species into cultivation.
Other growers new to Gardening Scotland 2010 will
include World of Ferns and Homes Farm Nursery
from Ayrshire.
Gardening Scotland 2010 will take place from 4
June until 6 June at The Royal Highland Centre,
Edinburgh.
