Tall and overarching flowers and plants can make smaller gardens appear much bigger as well as saving space. Inspired by Yorkshire’s stunning scenery, this garden mixes greenery with whites, pinks, and purples to recreate a true countryside atmosphere.

If minimal is more your thing, take inspiration from Naomi Ferrett-Cohen’s stunning design. Simple but beautiful, this garden inspired by the mantra of freedom, uses one palette of plants which is repeated around the grounds. Green is the main colour, but splashes of purple can be seen which promote a warm and homely feel.

Inspired by nature, this meadow-like style is perfect for a small, sunny garden. Combining trees, brickwork, water features with a subtle hint of scarlet, pink, lilac and yellow, this garden design is natural yet beautiful, so much, in fact, it was awarded a gold medal at the show.

Go Bold
A bold statement piece will bring style to any garden, just like this gold medal winner designed by Tony Woods. Opting for a slightly darker but rich colour scheme will bring real character to your outdoor space. Sectioning your garden with an archway will also create the illusion of more space and invent a secluded area to relax and unwind.
