The Association of Professional Landscapers has teamed up with the RHS to provide APL members with an exclusive opportunity to submit entries, free of charge, for a new category at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2012
The category of ‘High Impact, Low Cost’ gardens or garden area aims to showcase a practical approach to gardens that also provide a wow factor where visitors will be able to recreate the garden design, based on a fixed budget for hard landscaping, plant material and labour.
A total of four gardens will be selected to showcase what can be achieved for £5k, £7k, £10k and £13k budget.
The gardens/garden area can be any size and shape between 30sq to 50sq metres (the shape can be any regular or irregular geometric shape) and can reflect any part of the garden or a small garden that requires a face lift and demonstrate what added value can be achieved!
APL Chairman and experienced RHS show exhibitor Mark Gregory says, “What a fantastic opportunity for all APL members to showcase great garden design and landscaping on a fixed budgets. There is sure to be great interest and ‘takeaway appeal’ in the gardens and also in those that design and build them and I encourage members to take up the challenge.”
