Gardening, Design and Estate Maintenance
By John Cavill - Gold Medal and Best in Show Winner
These are the show gardens that I have designed and built - Click on a picture to enlarge them.
2006 was the start of my show garden career at BBC Gardeners World Live. I designed and built the largest show garden ever to be built in the UK and this was my first ever show garden too.
RHS Silver.
2009 and I returned to BBC Gardeners World Live with a children's educational garden that after the show was transported back to Leys Farm Junior school in Bottesford and rebuilt.
RHS Silver + Gardeners World Award.
2013 and again I entered BBC Gardeners World Live with a small courtyard garden and we added wonderful glass flowers to the mix. The garden was a bit last minute but we achieved an
RHS Silver
2014 and we ventured to BBC Gardeners World Live with down the garden which was again a full blown show garden with moon gate, summerhouse and lots if planting. We won Silver-Gilt this time with only being 2 points away from the Gold.
RHS Silver-Gilt
2014 and we added a small front garden into the mix at the Harrogate Autumn show. This was against the backdrop the show provided us and although winning a bronze medal we vowed to be back with a full blown show garden the next year to show what we are capable of.
Harrogate Bronze
2015 and we decided to try our luck again at Harrogate spring show. We love Harrogate show and we designed a large show garden again with patio, lawn and a summerhouse. Again we missed the gold by two points but the show was excellent and we loved being there.
Harrogate Silver-Gilt + Newby Cup
2015 and I returned to Harrogate for a Autumn show with the quirky cottage garden with the same backdrop as we had in 2014. This time we had top prove ourselves from winning bronze with the same backdrop the year before. We did the best we could and walked away with a
Harrogate Premier Gold and Best in Show.
So what's next? I haven't built a show garden since we won gold in 2015 but I have one designed and I am looking for where and when we can show it?
