TWO renowned Australian garden designers will show the world what theyre made of at the Singapore Garden Festival in August.
Brendan Moar and Jim Fogarty will have exhibitions at the premier tropical garden and flower show, which brings together internationally acclaimed landscape architects and garden designers.
This is the fifth year the festival has run.
Mr Moar is a landscape architect, author and TV host who started working at his craft when he was 17.
He made a name through a wide range of garden design shows including Dry Spell Gardening and Moar Gardening as well as the host of The Renovators.
He created his first show garden at the inaugural Australian Garden Show in Sydney last year where he scooped the pool with three top accolades — a Gold Medal, Best in Show and the People’s Choice Award.
He will compete in the landscape category in Singapore.
Mr Fogarty is a garden designer and media personality based in Melbourne.
One of the early highlights of his career was designing the Australian Inspiration show garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in the UK in 2004 where he won a Silver-Gilt medal.
It was the first time a show garden team had travelled from Australia to exhibit at Chelsea.
Mr Fogarty has been a judge at the Ellerslie Flower Show since 2003 as well as the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show in 2007 and 2013.
He is president of the Horticultural Media Association of Victoria, and appears on various Australian gardening TV shows, as well as being a regular garden design writer.
The Singapore Garden Festival is the first garden show to showcase creations from the world’s top award-winning garden and floral designers under one roof.
The nine-day event will feature a variety of exhibits, from balcony designs to outdoor landscapes.
Visitors will be treated to a visual fiesta of garden and floral displays, created by more than 30 internationally acclaimed designers.
It will be held from August 16-24 at Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay.
