A show-stopping year for Bradstone!

2008 will see leading garden hard landscaping manufacturer, Bradstone, giving its support to three of the most high profile shows on the gardening calendar.

Covering a wide range of customers, they will be supporting professionals at the Hampton Court Flower Show, student landscapers at the Harrogate Flower Show and amateur gardeners at BBC Gardeners’ World Live.

Bradstone sponsor a superteam at Hampton
Bradstone is sponsoring a ‘Super Team’ of landscapers to bring to life designer Amanda Patton’s garden at the Hampton Court Flower Show in July.

The Traveller’s Garden – with Bradstone, in conjunction with the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) and Society of Garden Designers (SGD) will be built by a ‘Super Team’ of landscape contractors hand picked from the winners of the APL Awards 2008 which take place on 12 February.

Nurturing talent at Harrogate
Bradstone will be sponsoring seven colleges to design their own plots at the 2008 Harrogate Flower Show.

In a bid to support and nurture young landscaping talent, Bradstone is offering a range of products to each of the colleges based in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire which they will incorporate into their design.

A Design Challenge at BBC Gardeners’ World Live!
Sarah Eberle, gold medal winner and designer of the ‘Best in Show’ garden at the 2007 Chelsea Flower Show, will be teaming up with the winner of the Bradstone Design Challenge, Heather Appleton, to construct the ‘Good Life’ garden at this year’s BBC Gardeners’ World Live!

Heather, an amateur gardener from Thirsk, won the Bradstone Design Challenge, which was launched in October 2007 to offer one lucky gardener the chance to design and build a garden at the show.

Heather’s winning design was given top marks by the judges – Sarah Eberle, Adam Pasco, Bunny Guinness and Bob Sweet – and will certainly be a talking point at the show.

Ian Wright from Bradstone said, “2008 is going to be a very exciting year for Bradstone and we are delighted once again to be working alongside established designer Sarah Eberle as well as nurturing fresh talent.”
