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 2011.
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.
