‘Uprising’ Garden awarded Silver at RHS Hampton Court Flower Show 2012
I am proud to announce that my debut show garden has been warmly received by expert judges and the public. I have been awarded a Silver medal at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show 2012!
The Garden ‘Uprising’ - designed by myself and built by Burnham Landscaping Ltd (www.burnhamlandscapingltd.co.uk) - is inspired by the Tottenham riots and sets out to explore how naturalistic planting, more commonly found in the countryside, can have a calming effect on urban spaces.
The garden features an urban landscape with natural planting. A dynamic zig zag path, large slate grey towers and a specially designed reverse graffiti wall created by Media Gang ltd. The reverse graffiti wall was made possible because of the generous support received by Karcher (www.karcher.co.uk)

‘Uprising’
As a resident of Tottenham I was inspired by last summers riots to design a garden in response to the destruction caused. As the regeneration of affected areas gets underway I want to explore the benefits that horticulture and naturalistic planting can bring to urban environments, whilst also engaging a younger audience into gardening and design.
