Keep off the grass
Small garden, or challenging space? No problem! The Beautiful Borders are always awash with take-home ideas to help you squeeze the most into your garden. Find out more about James Fenneberg’s Border below.
Designed by James FennebergAwarded Platinum and Best Interpretation of Theme
Agave plants are a prominent feature in the design and symbolise the sense of protection James wanted to create for his space. The inspiration came from once reading about how their spiky leaves were used by ancient Mayans in their bloodletting rituals.The idea for this protective border originated from the annoyance of people walking over his newly sown front garden meadow as well as a desire to create a space of dangerous beauty. The design incorporates a substrate of volcanic black sand and rock, volcanism was also an integral part of ancient Maya life, this will also accommodate ground nesting wasps and bees whilst setting off the planting with contrasting colours.James has studied both fine art and scenic painting and as a relative newcomer to gardening draws upon his experience with colour and shape as the basis for his design. Inspired by the fractal shapes, growth patterns and jewel like aesthetics in the formation of these plants, James has incorporated this into the overall spiral design.

Designed by Adam Marshall, awarded Gold
Creating a garden nurtures you in ways you would not have thought possible, both physically and mentally. This garden will have a clear passage to a cloud tree, trained and nurtured into its strong, tranquil form to symbolise the gardener at the end of the process of creating the garden, replenished and empowered.The garden will have a pull-up bar arch framing the cloud tree, allowing the user to escape the fast pace of life and to work out amongst the beauty of nature. Bright, scented flowers and exercise releases endorphins, improving well-being.After all, gardening is not about creating a finished garden, it is the greater well-being you are rewarded with through working with nature.

The Imaginary Topiary
Small garden, or challenging space? No problem! The Beautiful Borders are always awash with take-home ideas to help you squeeze the most into your garden. Find out more about Ralph Bourdoukan‘s Border below.
Designed by Ralph Bourdoukan, awarded Gold
This border is conceived as a small contemplative landscape. In an island of drought tolerant plants, the grasses dance around the immobile yet ethereal looking sculptures that act as transparent topiary. These hand-woven wire sculptures were inspired by Ralph’s experience of gardens as a creative refuge. The reflection of the plants and the sky in the water surrounding the island invites contemplation. The planting avoids strong contrasts and hot colours to further instil a feeling of calm, where one can escape the turmoil of a busy urban life.

Where there's a Willow
Designed by Cathy Perry
The garden begins with naturalistic planting, a dash of rewilding, and a love of mixing wild, cultivated and edible plants. The garden uses lots of natural materials and looks to upcycle exciting pieces of junk – there really is a message in our bottles!

Award Silver Merit, designed by Derby College
Wingfield railway station in Derbyshire was one of 13 built by the North Midland Railway and is the only one to survive ‘as-built’. It is one of the earliest surviving station buildings in Britain it closed in 1967 and tragically decayed over years of neglect. The building is Grade II* and listed on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register. Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust are restoring the building and will find new uses for it.The show garden celebrates the transformation of Wingfield station from a forgotten and derelict Victorian treasure into what will become a faithfully restored unique historic building.The garden will encapsulate the restoration using two design themes: One showing the dereliction ‘before’ with wild naturalistic planting contrasting with a second more structured and contemporary area indicating the completed restoration ‘after’.

MEET THE EXPERTS
BBC Gardeners’ World Live Theatre is sponsored by
The British Garden Centres StoryThe story of the British Garden Centres begins in the sleepy Lincolnshire village of Woodthorpe, the home of our company founders, Charles and Robert Stubbs. Charles started the business whilst still at school – he sold seedlings and Leylandii to neighbours and passers-by from a stall at the end of their drive.Through hard work, determination and drive, the business grew with Woodthorpe Garden Centre, being their first, opening in 1987. The business flourished under the ownership of Charles and brother Robert, becoming famous for, amongst other things, huge sales of compost to keen gardeners from all over the region. Over the years, the brothers’ reputation grew far and wide. They were featured on the local news program Calendar for their entrepreneurial skills.GrowingThe business at Woodthorpe grew and, with the addition of Brigg Garden Centre, the company’s reputation for quality and value began to spread. Further centres were added, and the company became known as the British Garden Centres Group. Since 2018 the company has grown at a rate even faster than Charles and Robert could ever have imagined and now has 60 centres around the country. Their ambition to have a British Garden Centre within easy reach of everyone in the UK really is starting to take shape!The FutureIn 2023 their new online store opened allowing customers to shop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and have products delivered straight to their door. Check out their centres and online store here.
