West Bridgford Garden Designer At BBC Gardeners’ World Live

A West Bridgford garden designer  will be taking centre stage this week at BBC Gardeners’ World Live, as he displays his incredible Show Garden for the first time. See details.

Talented designers from around the UK with an interesting story around their design were selected to display at this year’s show, being held at the NEC in Birmingham FROM 12-15 June.

Jason Loh from West Bridgford launched a campaign on social media to try and raise the money needed to build the garden and received an incredible amount of support. Through social media, knocking on doors, crowd funding and sending out letters he managed to raise the £20,000 needed to fund the project.

Jason says,

“Our entry for the Show Garden competition, titled ‘The Journey’, was inspired by a season of significant lows and inspirational highs. The design captures the imagination and encourages reflection. Character. Perseverance. Change.

Just as professional athletes focus on their goal, our journey of life is shaped by what or who is our focus. Do you know that ‘There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy?”

The Journey

 

This will be Jason’s first feature at BBC Gardeners’ World Live having previously won Premier Gold Silver Gilt at the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show 2012. Entering this garden, there is an opportunity to reflect on life and consider the road ahead. The feature wall marks The Journey of life, with its significant lows and inspirational highs. The texture of the dry river path changes underfoot, becoming more comfortable as you reach the goal at the end. The progression is also marked by the increasing size and development of the rock formations and plants, along The Journey.

Visitors to the event can view the garden at stand GA17.

Advance ticket prices start at £22.50 – please check the website for more details bbcgardenersworldlive.com.
