Instant Hedges The importance of hedging and screening can be overlooked – that is until you suddenly find yourself in need of privacy or protection. Instant Hedges receive many phone calls each day from people who are desperate for a solution to block out external influences from their private space but are unsure of how to achieve it. The reason behind their request can vary hugely from problematic neighbours to noise pollution from roads to visual eyesores. Regardless of the reason Instant Hedges are passionate about finding the correct solution for their specific situation. They are proud to be able to offer a range of hedging and screening from 60cm to 600cm tall.

Over the years they have identified some key trends in screening and have responded to these by increasing their range. The popularity of pleached trees over the past few years has skyrocketed.

Pleached trees have the advantage of sitting neatly over a fence panel and extending the screening by almost the same height as the fence. In the past conifers may have been used to gain the height required but as land becomes more precious, economically and aesthetically, pleached trees have really found their niche. The structure of the pleached tree means minimal space is used in the garden and screening is given exactly where you need it.

Instant Hedges business and reputation has grown over the years but their commitment to offering complete end to end service from consultancy through sourcing, supply and distribution to planting and maintenance has remained.

Managing Director Nick Angel concludes: “Our reputation has been built on the expertise of our personnel, our appreciation of customer expectation, the quality and service and the value-formoney we are able to deliver on each and every project.”

Villaggio Verde Villaggio Verde has been established for over 15 years, and is now one of the leading growers and suppliers of Olive Trees to the trade.

This award-winning company (latest award - RHS, Gold Medal Winners 2013) specialises only in olive trees, and holds many thousands of olive trees in stock - this means Villaggio can offer the best deals on olive trees, with extremely competitive rates and professional next-day delivery options.

Whether you are looking for an ancient gnarly olive tree, centuries old, with a trunk and crown of a specific dimension… or a whole grove of smooth-trunked olive trees, in varying ages, Villaggio Verde can take your brief, and fulfil your order - usually directly from stock. You can even select your olive trees and get a video of each tree before you buy. Either select your tree on the website, call or email Villaggio and one of the team will identify your ideal tree(s) and make a 360degree video for you.

Given enough space and light, olive trees can thrive indoors and are a graceful addition to many shopping malls and offices. Olive tree roots are not aggressive and easily-contained, so they suit limited planting spaces that may harm other trees.

Design For Play

In 2008 Play England and the DCMS together published Design for Play: a guide to creating successful play spaces, and a revised edition will be published later this year.

Whereas ‘messy’ or un-tidy play spaces are taken for granted in places like Germany, in the UK we still seem to expect our play spaces to look like sterile versions of ‘indoors’. But Design for play has helped many people to be more creative, and as a result play spaces are increasingly often landscapes with carefully-integrated play equipment, rather than just the traditional ‘Kit, Fence, Carpet’ model (as coined by Helen Woolley of Sheffield University) which focuses on a lot of equipment, set in an impact absorbent surface, and usually surrounded by fencing.

Our children deserve much better than this and we’re pleased to see that clients across the country are continuing to experiment with play design. Tree swings are making a come-back to our open spaces; sand and water are becoming more common, and even planting is often included too.

Perhaps eventually we’ll stop creating sterile play spaces and focus instead on ‘playable landscapes,’ where contact with natural elements and materials adds play value and makes the play space more exciting and interesting to use too… watch this space!

Come and listen to Play England and Aileen Shackell from ASA Landscapes tell you more about how to create successful play spaces at LANDSCAPE this September in Battersea Park.

Master Joint Masterjoint, a sister company of the The Mayfield Group, launched a brand new decking product earlier this year, designed specifically for domestic homes. With over 20 years’ experience in the design, manufacture and installation of plastics, the all new Hampton decking includes the very best of all the ideas and experience and is by far the best product we have ever produced.

No products are recession proof but having a new product that ticks all the boxes and is very competitively priced is the absolute perfect recipe to ensure this product will be a market leader. The Hampton decking is made from some incredibly clever technology, incorporating some very modern materials such as ASA and Carbon, offering far better long term weathering benefits than all the other plastics they have used or produced before.

So confident are they with these materials that they are offering a lifetime warranty with our entire range of Hampton decking! Even with all this new and incredible technology they have ensured that the core of our product is being made from recycled uPVC, which accounts for 85% of the decking, ensuring they maintain their pledge to be environmentally conscious.

See us at LANDSCAPE Hampton decking is designed to be easy to install with a very simple yet affective clip system, giving a pre-determined gap of 5mm between the planks. The clip allows the planks to move with the coexpansion and contraction from heat, which is crucial with any plastic decking product, reducing the fixings from breakage.

Imagine the potential in the domestic market for this product! Vist them at LANDSCAPE this September in Battersea Park.

Walk onto a Grono artificial grass lawn and you’ll feel the difference. First of all it looks just like grass, plus it’s both practical and beautiful at the same time - but even better than that, you’ll never have to do any of the hard work normally associated with having a lovely lawn.

Materials and technology have improved their artificial grass so it now creates a lawn that looks and feels like natural grass and will last up to 20 years!

Fake grass is much more cost-effective than paving or other artificial coverings - and when you measure the investment over the life of the grass it can even work out cheaper than laying and maintaining natural turf.

Imagine a beautiful lawn that requires virtually no maintenance at all and stays green and lush as the day it was laid. Fake grass is great for kids, pets, parties and it’s very hard wearing, it can even handle the rough and tumble of sports and play areas.

No mowing, no muddy/bald patches, no weeds, hard wearing (lasts up to 20 years), fade resistant, flame retardant, green all year round, no maintenance, great for hay fever sufferers

Fernando G Fernando Gonzalez Garden Design is an award-winning practice with a reputation for making gardens that are artworks in themselves, whilst pushing the boundaries of conventional design by employing state-of-the-art technologies and manufacturing processes. In 2013, FGGD was named one of the 50 Most Innovative Practices across the Globe by Digital Landscape Architecture Now. At the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2013 Fernando Gonzalez was awarded a Silver-Gilt medal for the garden called ‘ The Sound of Silence ‘.

Fernando describes the garden, saying “It is a different and contemporary view of the traditional Zen garden , an abstracted small landscape that captures the essence of nature by contrasting opposing elements – the silence of the mountains made from Hi-Macs natural acrylic stone, the elegance and serenity of the bonsai and the sea made of gravel all contribute to the sense of calm and aesthetic pleasure.

These elements provide clues in search for the garden’s deeper significance.

Fernando is one of the featured speakers at LANDSCAPE this September in Battersea Park.

The Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) was formed to try and raise and maintain standards in the industry and to help consumers make an informed choice in a market place that is susceptible to problems. Formed in 1995, the APL, which operates as a Specialist Group of the Horticultural Trades Association, represents landscapers who have met a required standard of professionalism.

Members of the Association are registered with the government endorsed TrustMark Scheme and are annually inspected and agree to follow a customer charter with clients. All APL members also hold the appropriate insurance and have traded for a minimum of two years.

The APL provides homeowners with an even greater choice when selecting a landscaper.

As a customer, you can feel confident that the APL landscaper you have chosen has met prescribed professional standards.

The APL have a close partnership with the RHS and are responsible for the ‘Low Cost, High Impact’ gardens at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. The category was introduced to the show for the first time last year providing APL members with an exclusive opportunity to showcase their work. The gardens showcase a practical approach which also provides a wow factor. The aim is that visitors will be able to recreate the garden design, based on a fixed budget for hard landscaping, plant material and labour.

This ‘Low Cost, High Impact’ concept has been so successful, it has also been rolled out to RHS Flower Show Tatton Park.

The APL also host regular cluster group meetings around the country. These meetings offer members networking opportunities and sharing of ideas and best practice in the industry through the course of the year. The Association of Professional Landscapers also have designated website with an easy-to-use map of the UK to help you find a contractor near you.

The APL is looking forward to being at LANDSCAPE again this year, which provides a great environment and opportunity to discuss with potential new members and consumers about the benefits of membership and of using an APL registered contractor.

There are so many designs and so many options available with collections, as often as possible we provide links to e-catalogs so you get the most complete view of what is available without drowning you in an information overload. Where possible they link to videos and provide price pointers too.

Their goal is that you leave the site having a frame of reference of what is ‘out there’ and enough data about a design so you know if you want to invest time in researching it further.

Q Lawns

Q Lawns are looking forward to exhibiting at the LANDSCAPE show this autumn and will be showing some old favourites and one exciting new product that will have the designers drooling.

This year, the Norfolk based grower celebrates 20 years of supplying quality turfgrass to the nation.

Over the years, Q Lawns turf has been used in such prestigious locations as the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, Legoland Windsor and the Olympic Park. Sales and Marketing Manager Chris Carr says “We’re proud to have reached this landmark anniversary and see it as proof that landscapers and gardeners like our turf and they like our service – they must do – because they keep coming back for more!”

Another popular product grown on the Q Lawns’ farm is Enviromat sedum matting which is great for low maintenance ground cover, but what it’s most often used for is creating living green roofs on garden buildings. Living roofs are more or less mainstream these days and because Enviromat is lightweight, easy and competitively priced it just keeps on increasing in popularity.

ESI Every great environment is based on sound decisions about who to work with and what materials to use. At ESI. info, you will find the broadest mix of supplier and product information on the market, combined with insightful articles and case studies to keep you up-to-date with sector innovations. ESI.info have been helping busy professionals create better environments for 25 years. They believe that whether it happens to be outdoors, indoors, commercial, industrial, public or residential, every great environment is based on sound decisions about who to work with and what materials to use. They are here to support that decision-making process.

Q Lawns are constantly looking at ways of making Enviromat even more convenient to use, including, touring the Country giving talks to landscapers and garden designers on how and why to incorporate green roofing.

“Biodiversity, using native plants and cutting maintenance costs are all hot topics at the moment” says Angela Lambert from Q Lawns. Meadowmat their wild flower matting meets all three of these criteria and it’s so much easier than seeding or plug planting.

Angela said “We’re doing a little bit of product development at the moment and hope to have something exciting to show off at the LANDSCAPE show later on this year”. www.qlawns.co.uk

Ivan Black

Ivan Black was born in London in 1972, he works predominantly in the medium of kinetic sculpture. His interest in sculpture began at an early age and motion quickly became central to his work; adding as he saw it another dimension of complexity and interest to his experiments. An inherent problem solver, he spent his early years amassing multi disciplinary skills in the pursuit of the means to realise his ambitious ideas.

Ivan uses his unique methodology to create kinetic works that mutate upon the introduction of energy. The repetition of identical elements is a recurrent theme in his work, by this means he builds complex fluid structures. Each work is a section of a potentially continuous sequence, generated in form by the application of systematic rules to the geometry.

Ivan takes inspiration for his designs from iconic natural forms, combining mathematical concepts and the pioneering spirit of the British engineer to create a synergy between science, art and technology.

See us at LANDSCAPE

His meticulously engineered and seamlessly integrated mechanisms are central to the behaviour and appeal of his work. Tending towards the minimalist in design, the movement is allowed to take centre stage.

His work has been widely exhibited including at the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice and The Cass Foundation Sculpture Park, Interart Sculpture Park in the Netherlands, Palmyra Sculpture Centre Mallorca and the Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden. He is a regular exhibitor at the Kinetica Art Fair and his work is included in many significant private collections.

Ivan Black will be presenting a new range of hanging and free standing wind powered kinetic sculptures at this year’s LANDSCAPE show. The works rotate gently in the wind creating striking and mesmerizing centrepieces for gardens and outdoor spaces. www.ivanblack.co.uk

Gardeners Guild MCM

When it comes to needing soil, you don’t get more demanding than the needs of the critically endangered Sumatran tiger. With only an estimated 400 left in the wild, the Tiger habitat at the ZSL London Zoo had to pull out all the stops to make their new enclosure suitable for our furry friends.

Using Tru-Grow soil from MCM, the ZSL expert horticulturalists could carefully mimic the tropical foliage of the island of Sumatra.

Tru grow was perfect for this as it is sand based and when mixed with PAS 100 compost it made it lightweight and easy to use. With the rigorous testing done, everyone is now happy that the tigers, Jae Jae and his mate Melati, will have a lovely new home to settle into.

80% of The Gardeners Guild members are sole traders. To support their members, The Gardeners Guild is now working with LoneALERT (www.LoneAlert. co.uk) to arrange a group discount on LoneALERT lone worker protection services at a subsidised rate so that individual members can access this service at the same rate as a business with over 200 employees. LoneALERT provides a range of products designed to ensure the protection of lone workers and staff who work remotely, including smartphone apps and Man Down alarms including a service that works without a mobile phone signal.

To further highlight the need for sole traders to be safety conscious, The Gardeners Guild will support Suzy Lamplugh Trust (www.suzylamplugh.org) over the next 12 months by setting up a donation page at www.justgiving.com/ thegardenersguild/, promote the charity on our website and encourage our members to do the same on their websites and blogs.

Suzy Lamplugh Trust works to raise awareness of the importance of personal safety in order to help people to avoid violence and aggression and live safer, more confident lives.

The Gardeners Guild are part of this years LANDSCAPE show in September. Please find time to call in to their stand to find out more about their activities. www.thegardenersguild.co.uk

The Silva Cell is a specialized tool to meet sustainability goals and improve the ecological function of urban sites through the integration of large tree growth and on-site storm-water management.

The modular Silva Cells stack to create customized void spaces beneath paving (footpaths , plazas, etc.) that is then filled with soil. This soil provides unlimited rooting space for trees, enabling them to grow large and improving canopy cover without disrupting surrounding utilities.

The same soil volume simultaneously acts as on-site storm-water management, significantly reducing non-point source pollution and controlling the rate, volume, and quality of water runoff.

By integrating trees, soil, and stormwater, the Silva Cell improves sustainable site design. It is ideal for use in cities and towns and meets engineering and loading standards with no loss of structural hard landscape integrity.

Institute of Horticulture Institute of Horticulture

The Institute of Horticulture (IoH) is delighted to announce that Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to grant a Royal Charter to the Institute of Horticulture. The Institute’s Royal Charter will come into legal effect when it is sealed by the Crown Office at the House of Lords.

It is expected that this will be completed in the New Year 2014.

The granting of a Royal Charter has been an aspiration of the Institute since its inception in 1984 in view of the major benefits it will bring to the Institute and its members. A Royal Charter will enhance the Institute’s ability to present our profession through increasing the profile, recognition and standing of professional horticulture. As a Chartered body the Institute’s ability to raise standards will be strengthened and the Institute will be better placed to represent and support horticulture as a profession and assist members in the practice of the profession.

On becoming a Chartered Institute in 2014 all members will retain their existing membership level but will also have the benefits associated with membership of a Chartered body.

However, the Royal Charter equips the Institute with the new ability to award individual Chartered status to members of the Institute. This new prospect would be optional for members to apply for should they choose. Individual Chartered status will recognise the achievement of a senior practitioner level and this will support members by confirming their high level of professional expertise. This has the major potential to help individuals in all aspects of the Industry.

The Institute of horticulture are proud supporters of LANDSCAPE in Battersea Park this September and look forward to meeting members there.

Judith Hobbs Judith’s pots create dramatic forms for the contemporary house and garden, drawing on traditions as diverse as Minoan Crete and Art Deco, and inspired by the dramatic qualities of light and shadow in the Mediterranean and North Africa.

Judith uses a range of techniques; including throwing and coiling to produce unique handmade pieces with bold geometric designs and strong simple shapes. The resulting work is dynamic and striking.

“I enjoy the interplay of strong clear lines and edges and each pot that I make feels like an exploration of this.”

She also makes lizards and geckos, many combined with pots, which have unusual vibrancy and a lifelike quality, they bring an element of the unexpected, the unpredictable to the garden.

Judith was a student on the Harrow Studio Pottery course from 1983 until 1985. She now lives and works in Bristol in a purpose built studio in her garden. She is a regular exhibitor at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Over many years of making pottery and ceramics her ideas have shifted in focus and emphasis but the core influences are unchanged: open spaces, straightforward shapes, a simple ceramic palette crisp lines and bold patterns. www.judithhobbs.com

Bonar Technical Fabrics Bonar introduces Duracover: the first completely biobased ground cover. Ground covers – also known as weed control fabric – have been common for years among those who work in the areas of landscaping, gardening, etc. The principle of the ground covers is simple: by minimising the light transmission, the germination and growth of weeds is also prevented. Woven ground covers also allow water to pass through, however, so the rain can get into the ground without problems.

Originally, these ground covers were made primarily out of polypropylene. For several years, though, the awareness has been growing that an alternative was needed. Plastics should be avoided in nature, where possible. Here and there, biodegradable alternatives did arise.

In terms of ease of use, quality and effectiveness, however, those alternatives did not even get close to the traditional ground covers.

Researchers from the Bonar Research Center made a breakthrough with the invention of Duracover. Duracover is completely biobased, which is why it ea rned the highest 4-star certificate from AIB Vinçotte. The researchers also succeeded in developing a ground cover with the same quality as the traditional BONAR ground covers: very user-friendly, almost completely opaque, well permeable, UV-resistant and very strong.

Bonar will be showing this innovative product at LANDSCAPE this September in Battersea Park. www.bonartf.com

See us at LANDSCAPE UK based garden designer Andrew Fisher Tomlin has been commissioned to design a show garden for the inaugural Australian Garden Show, Sydney in September 2013. The garden is created in collaboration with Tom Harfleet who Fisher Tomlin worked with to create a Gold Medal winning garden in New Zealand earlier this year.

Andrew said “This is an amazing opportunity for us to showpiece UK design down under and is a natural extension of the success we have had taking our design ideas overseas. We were attracted by the new show because it aims to offer more than the traditional garden show with cutting edge design and horticulture but also an incredible night time experience not seen anywhere before.”

The inspiration for the showpiece garden, called September Sky, comes from those spring skies when days become longer and the light becomes clearer, where colours are sharp, crisp and silver. The garden uses typical Australian natives from a perspective of the outsider to the country, a fresh eye in a contemporary setting where strong architectural forms engage with a much wilder planting.

Andrew added “Light, fire and sound will be brought in to transform the landscape at night-time. It’s the first time we’ve had a cocktail lounge right next to our show garden so we’re going to create something special for all those night time visitors.”

The inaugural Australia Garden Show Sydney will open 5-8th September in the city’s Centennial Park. The show is developed by Destination New South Wales on behalf of the New South Wales Government and will be the launch platform for the stunning series of floral and garden events taking place throughout the region from spring onwards.

Juliet Sargeant

Taming the rural landscape to create a pleasing garden to suit your lifestyle can be a challenge.

There is an abundance of beauty to be found in the countryside, but Nature will inevitably throw up difficulties, such as water-logged heavy clay, windswept hillsides and fields that flood.

Juliet Sargeant thrives on a challenge and has many years of experience in moulding the landscape and selecting the right plants in order to create beautiful gardens that sit well in their surroundings.

Last year Juliet was awarded the 2012 inaugural prize for a sustainable garden by the Society of Garden Designers. Her own garden is a windswept coastal site.

So, if you are wondering how to co-exist happily with the rabbits and deer that graze your garden, please contact Juliet for a consultation or visit her website: www.julietdesigns.co.uk Juliet will be one of the featured speakers at LANDSCAPE this September.

Dutch Pavilion

Boot & Co. Nurseries will also be part of the Dutch Pavilion. Founded 60 years ago, they specialise in the production and supply of top quality hardy nursery stock, for use in landscape projects and by Local Government.

Their extensive product range includes trees, specimens, shrubs, hedging, perennials, conifers, rhododendrons, fruit and bulbs.

Considerable resources are put into breeding new plant varieties and developing new production methods; to minimise our impact on the environment and reduce maintenance to a minimum.

Noteable examples of this are their award winning ‘Fleur Robuste’ Landscape Roses, hybridized, selected and trailed by or R&D department, to provide a long period of colour, disease resistance and minimal maintenance; their ‘Fleur Robuste’ range of Perennials, selected varieties providing a long period of colour, disease resistance, minimal maintenance and insect nectar.

Includes some familiar varieties and some less well known subjects.

Production of shrubs in biodegradable pots, made from rice husks and other waste products. We produce several hundreds of thousands of these a year.

These save on depotting costs and disposal of plastic waste.

Come and talk to Boot at this years LANDSCAPE Show at Battersea Park, this September.

Schellevis Beton was founded in 1937 in the Netherlands and will be featured as part of the Dutch Pavilion stand at LANDSCAPE this September. Schellevis is producer of a wide range of concrete materials, among wich the paving slabs and stones are the most important. 25 dedicated employees daily work to make top quality paving materials in the factory in Dussen.

See us at LANDSCAPE

See us at LANDSCAPE Schellevis slabs have a very distinct character and can easily be recognised as they have a surface with an irregular pattern of little bubbles. Each and every slab has a different pattern, no two are the same. Unlike most other concrete products Schellevis slabs hold their characteristic appearance over the years. They do change, but in a natural way. Five different colours are available to suit your taste and they can be used in both modern and classic settings; they seem to adapt themselves to the scenery.

This is why many architects and landscapers on the continent appreciate the beauty of the Schellevis slabs and Schellevis look forward to showing you their range of beautiful products at LANDSCAPE in Battersea Park this September.

Italian Pavilion

This year, the LANDSCAPE show in Battersea Park, will feature an Italian Pavilion. Flora Nord is just one of those companies taking part who represent a cooperative of ten companies from Northern Italy.

The companies within Flora Nord are all production nurseries and have recently made the decision to export directly.

The plants from this area are more cold resistant due to the harsh winters in Northern Italy and therefore more suitable for the UK. The range offered by the cooperative include rare species of plants like Firmiana, Halesia, Nyssa, Syncopsis and Stewartia and above all you can find real specimen plants that are truly hard to find!

Flora Nord can organise the logistics so there is no minimum order per grower, and partial loads are possible. Do come along and speak to them at LANDSCAPE this September to see what is possible. www.gruppointercom.net

Lynda Hukins The natural environment, the coastal shoreline and the beauty of the Weald countryside in Kent where she lives inspire Lynda Hukins’ work.

British wildlife is her dominant theme although in recent years she has created abstract sculptures. Many of her wildlife bronzes hint at abstraction in their simplicity of form, giving them a contemporary character. Lynda is drawn to the strength and movement she finds in her subjects and uses a strong definition of line to draw the eye to the sculpture, and express these essential qualities.

Tamata At Tamata, they specialise in growing Acer palmatum (Japanese maples) to a mature specification in nurseries in New Zealand where plentiful sunlight, high rainfall, and fertile soil combine to produce a strain of Acer palmatum uniformly of superior quality and strength.

As mature specimens, Tamata trees are ideal for planting (in pots or in the ground) within up-market design projects where the desired effect is an instant “established” garden. Additionally, the taller upright varieties are well-matched for commercial applications such as parks and street plantings.

Their product range is extensive, offering some unique cultivars as well as better known varieties grown to a specification rarely previously available in the UK; giving an opportunity to add a touch of uniqueness and individuality to projects.

Their trees are subject to the regulatory requirements of UK government agencies such as DEFRA and FERA to monitor, inspect, test and sanction Tamata’s product starting 12 months prior export, before the tree is even lifted from the field.

At export time, each tree is physically inspected prior to placement in a shipping container and on arrival DEFRA complete a final inspection prior allowing the trees into the UK.

See us at LANDSCAPE John Cullen Lighting are part of the Steering Committee for the LANDSCAPE show. Lucy Martin, their Design Director talked to us about one of the their recent projects.

She says “The brief from the client was to create an inside/outside party space.

Lighting was layered to produce dynamic effects across the split level garden. At high level light skims down the wooden terracing whilst accent lighting is added with spiked 1w LED Kew spotlights and Hampton flood lights to planting and to uplight the olive tree.

At low level 1w Oslo floor washers create a floating effect under the table and benches. To create the party feel, a panel was back lit with colour changing LED RGB Slinky strip which reflects colour throughout the garden. The water rill was lit from under the stone paving with an LED strip adding drama and interesting reflections. Additional colour changing LED strips create the illusion of the water rill extending towards the house and adds more colour and drama close to the house.

As a final touch oversized pots were uplight and framed with 1w LED Sienas for a dramatic play on light and shadow.”

The brief for the landscape design was to create a new luxurious setting for the new use of Coworth Park House as an eco country house hotel, with leisure activities within a wider parkland setting, including the existing Coworth Park Polo Club. The latter is a popular venue within the British aristocracy. Aggregate Industries provided the solution by supplying 1000m2 of Chinese Winter Green paving with a riven finish, which was used within the parkland setting.

Additionally another 1600m2 of Chinese Green Sandstone with a sawn and finely textured finish, was supplied which was used around the perimeter of Coworth House and also The Garden Terrace and Formal Gardens.

Indu+ Cooking today is a social occasion unlike in earlier times when the cook was shut away in the kitchen for hours and cut off from the guests. Now we want to have a great time with our guests and this will preferably take place outdoors in nice weather. We want to lose as little time as possible and eat together heartily.

The Belgian company indu+ is introducing a completely new cooking experience. Its rolling trolleys mean you can move the kitchen outside in an instant. The induction hobs in the trolleys are modular and can therefore be easily changed and adapted to the menu requirements: cooking, using a wok, grilling, teppanyaki... Outdoor cooking no longer has to mean just a (gas) barbecue.

With the indu+ trolleys it has a completely new dimension. The modularity of both the trolleys and the hobs means your outdoor kitchen can be fully personalised. Induction cooking is also advancing irresistibly as this type of cooking is quick, safe and energy efficient. The company uses the trolleys to adapt perfectly to a fluid, flexible lifestyle and the trend in which the boundaries between indoors and outdoors fade away.

Jennifer Grey Jennifer Gray designs and makes objects and jewellery in a range of materials, which move in and out of the hand-made, and the digital.

Each series is unified, in particular through use of traditional hand carving methods, enhanced by taking advantage of emerging digital technologies.

Jennifer sees herself as a link in a chain of makers. She uses what she has learned from the past to blend it with what is available to her today to contribute towards the future. She wants to demonstrate that new technological approaches can blend naturally into a piece of work as a means to build upon what’s gone before.

‘Amphora Garlands’ and ‘Tessellating Wall Tiles’ have been made using digital carving methods developed during her postgraduate studies at the Royal College of Art. She casts the final pieces in reconstituted marble in a mixture of marbled tones, which are then deliberately distressed to give the impression of something more ancient.

These wall tiles can be applied to interior or exterior walls using regular household tile adhesive.

Gin Garden

See us at LANDSCAPE

A feature at this years LANDSCAPE show will be “Gin Garden”. A travelling, unexpected bar which you will often find across London, popping up in unexpected spaces, mixing and serving drinks.

They work with distilleries, complementing the botanicals of their unique gin with local herbs, fruits and flowers and they source as many ingredients as possible from local artisan producers and small businesses.

The drinks are unique to the area they are created in.

The Gin Garden can come to your space and make your location blossom into a decorative scenic background. They can “bring a strip of velvety turf, with a hedge of lilac or red may, or whatever happens to be in season, as a background, one or two cherry trees in blossom, and clumps of heavily-flowered rhododendrons filling in the odd corners; in the foreground you have a blaze of carnations or Shirley poppies, or tiger lilies in full bloom.”

Gin Garden love learning about the botanicals in gin and about the fruit, flowers, herbs and spices that they use to make their drinks. They know lots of other people do too.

So whether you are interested in how to grow chocolate mint, how to mix a drink using preserved plums or the health benefits the ginger in your hot toddy could bring you, one of their team should be able to tell you, and if they don’t - they know someone who does.

Zoë Cull designs and makes functional and ornamental works in natural stone.

Following two years’ training in the traditional skills and techniques of architectural masonry and carving, a grant from the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust in 2003 enabled her to spend short periods of apprenticeship with five of the country’s leading letter-cutters. She subsequently set up a workshop with partner, Alex Evans, with whom she collaborates under the name Stoneform.

Aided by a Crafts Council Development Award in 2006, Zoë worked to establish a body of creative work, leading to a diverse and interesting variety of private, corporate and public commissions. These include a suite of liturgical furniture for the Church of St Anthony of Padua in Radlett, Herts; a trio of bench seats for Salisbury District Hospital; a large sculptural feature for David Wilson Homes in Bristol and a landscaped space incorporating carved paving and seating at Poole Crematorium, Dorset. She has exhibited widely, including in selected shows at West Dean (‘Art and Memory’), Roche Court (‘Riddles’) and The Garden Gallery.

Zoë Cull

Recently, Zoë has become interested in using other materials in association with stone, and also in the further integration of her work with its surroundings through the use of hard and soft landscaping. She welcomes all opportunities, no matter how big or small, and will apply herself as dedicatedly to the carving of a simple house name as to the undertaking of a complex and large-scale artwork.

This summer, The Gardens are celebrating their 75th Anniversary so there is plenty planned throughout the year to help commemorate such a special occasion!

No other location in London offers beautiful rooftop gardens with fully grown oaks and fruit trees, a flowing stream stocked with fish and wildlife and of course the resident flamingos.

Sir Richard Branson says “It is fantastic to see The Gardens celebrates its 75th Anniversary this year. Everyone involved with The Roof Gardens should be very proud of what it has achieved; especially David Lewis and his team as the Gardens are a testament to their hard-work; they look absolutely stunning and really do allow visitors to feel like they are worlds away from the hustle and bustle of London.”

Richard Mi

Richard Miers has been designing gardens for over 15 years, both in the UK and abroad, including a country garden for a grade 1 listed house in Norfolk, a 15 acre garden for a new build Palladian mansion in Surrey and numerous town gardens in London. Lauded as one of the top ten up and coming garden designers by House and Garden Magazine in February 2011 he was also invited to design a show garden for The Daily Telegraph/House and Garden Fair in 2007. Of which Susan Crewe, Editor of House & Garden, said of ‘The Scented Garden’: ‘An inspired piece of design; so much of the moment, yet with its roots in a thousand years of horticultural history and tradition.’

Despite being rooted in this time-honoured tradition, his gardens are clean and classically contemporary in style, with a strong sense of geometry. When designing, Richard likes to begin by putting structure into the garden, be it with hedges, walls, paths, terraces, water, trained fruit trees or an avenue of trees.

These divide the garden into areas of manageable human scale, defining spaces and giving each area a purpose whilst providing shelter, varying points of interest and framed views; they also help hold the garden together through the winter months. This structure is then softened with bulbs, herbaceous flowers, shrubs and roses so that with the advent of spring & summer the excitement of the budding flowers adds a new, altogether softer dimension to the garden.

iers

See us at LANDSCAPE

If there is a theme that runs through his work it is the curved hedging that winds its way though his herbaceous borders or stands out in sensuous baroque curves against lawn or gravel. Symmetry is also important, coupled with a sense of balance and proportion, resulting in gardens that are both harmonious and handsome. Design ethos: ‘Good garden design is all about teamwork and communication.

Translating ideas coherently to both client and contractor is key.’

Richard was chosen to represent the United Kingdom in the 2012 Gardening World Cup in Nagasaki Japan and is one of the featured speakers at this years LANDSCAPE show in Battersea Park in September.

Rothfuss More than 25 years ago, when the Rothfuss company introduced spot-welded gabions to the German market they were captivated by the idea of using durable, galvanized screen-mats to build retaining walls out of rock or other natural materials. The large-dimensioned metal baskets, called gabions, facilitate the engineering of firm structures by providing a supporting framework to nature. Playing the role of the pioneer of the industry, Rothfuss continued to research and develop new areas of applications, from facade greening to fencing gabions, by transforming their creative concepts into practical solutions.

Rothfuss, based next to Stuttgart, Germany, is a medium-sized family enterprise manufacturing products out of steel wire, for more than 160 years, and meanwhile servicing many European markets. The company is guided by the spirit of invention, innovation and constant improvement, which is the typical mentality of Southwestern Germany, with Porsche, Mercedes and Bosch as the most prominent representatives of this region.

The Pot Company

As such, when Pot Company owner Kevin McMahon made the decision to retire recently, it seemed a natural fit for the two companies to open a dialogue. Discussions reached a successful and rapid conclusion that has facilitated a seamless and smooth transition.

Round Wood Trading is set to continue its recent, rapid expansion after acquiring the Pot Company, one of its long-standing suppliers. The provider of Home & Garden Features, has historically specialised in large scale cast iron products, including benches, urns and lamp posts. Over recent years, however, they have become increasingly active in the pot and planter market, with a focus on large scale, quality models well suited to the landscape market.

The Pot Company has been sourcing garden planters from around the world for almost 30 years. This depth of experience has allowed them to develop a unique and varied range featuring consistently popular design themes and materials with proven durability.

A significant portion of market share, both trade and retail, has been won in this time through effective pricing and the development of supply chains. Whilst many products have been sourced from a number of international partners, a key relationship was established with the long running ‘Pot Company,’ based just 15 miles away in Lamberhurst, Kent.

We do not generally undertake installations, preferring to assist and support contractors with incorporating the installation into their own program of works, (which keeps the project price controlled and potentially adds another profit centre for the project). They do however maintain alliances with several Approved Installers who can offer an implementation service depending upon budget and location.

Senlac Stone

See us at LANDSCAPE Established in 1960, Senlac Stone is the UK’s leading manufacturer and distributor of swimming pool copings, paving and balustrades. Their mission has always been to combine the finest production skills with the highest possible customer satisfaction. They offer a wide range of paving for outdoor and internal use in either reconstructed natural quarried stone or natural stone and whatever the shape or size of your swimming pool, they can supply all your needs direct from stock.

By using reconstructed natural quarried limestone in the manufacturing process, they take no short cuts in providing you with the finest quality product. All copings and paving are solid throughout, immensely strong, and hand finished as standard. The resulting non-slip and warm to the touch feel will enhance any inside or outside space.

A most attractive alternative material for coping and paving is natural stone. Its visual appeal is greatly enhanced by the fact that no two pieces are ever the same - each one has its own characteristics with natural colour and texture variations.

Senlac will be featuring a wide range of their products at LANDSCAPE in Battersea Park this September. www.senlacstone.co.uk

Designs are generated using computeraided-design, and are then planted and grown on at the nursery. They pride themselves on being able to produce any design idea, large or small, if they can design it - they can plant it! You can have your design delivered to anywhere in the UK, the pre-rooted tiles of plants are simply slid out of their trays and onto a preprepared bed instantly transforming the bed into a colourful work of art within hours.

If you’re looking for a display with the “wow” factor, have you considered a 3D display? Their imaginative design and production team have created everything from Spitfires for war commemoration, displays for the Chelsea Flower Show, giant tennis balls for Wimbledon, and even 3D sporting figures for the Olympics. So your imagination really is the limit.

Kernock Plants

That’s why Kernock Plants offer bespoke InstaPlant® carpet bedding displays that are designed and grown to order at their nursery in Cornwall. They do everything for you, so that you can have a professional display without the hassle.

Mondi Plants Mondi began as a local producer/supplier of bamboo in Pistoia,Italy in 2000. In the next two years Mondi began to export a wider range of plants to the French market, and since then it has developed to the point to which we now export the entire Italian outdoor ornamental plant range for clients in Ireland, the UK, France, Switzerland, Albania,Holland, and Jordan.

See us at LANDSCAPE

Mondi is the name of the founder and owner of their plant nursery, and it’s apt that his name sounds like the Italian for world, “mondo”. This noun could have been a perfect name for their company, which employs people from three different countries.

Their positive experience of producing, communicating, collaborating, and exporting plants to our clients on the basis of good will, faith, and gratitude reinforces our belief in the capacity of people worldwide.

Jonathan Denby

See us at LANDSCAPE

We recently spoke to Jonathan Denby who shared his thoughts about follies.

He told us “I’ve always admired the way Victorians would build a Folly on their land, which had no other purpose than to look good and be admired. One such Victorian was Alexander Brogden, the owner of Holme Island in Grange who, when he had finished building the Furness railway, built a circular Temple of Vesta in his garden. I came across a photo of the temple while I was doing some research on Grange in the Barrow Records Office and was immediately captivated by it.

I was told that there was no possible chance of the National Park planners giving me permission to build a modern folly, but, with the thought that the Victorians wouldn’t have been daunted by such a detail, I drew up some plans and put them in. The doubters were wrong and the plans were passed, albeit with the unnecessarily sarcastic comment that it was “more Las Vegas than Lake District”.

It has taken several years, but the building is now finished. I think it’s rather lovely. I’ve called it The Rotunda. It isn’t a folly as such but has a practical, and of course commercial purpose as a wedding chapel. A licence has been granted for couples to get married in the chapel, but they can also spend their wedding night there, as it can be magically transformed into a bridal suite. There’s a hidden bed, which comes down from a wall; a secret door to a concealed bathroom and a TV which drops down from the ceiling. You can lie on the bed and look at the stars through the glass domed roof. Perhaps the planners did have a point after all when they mentioned Las Vegas.”

The London College of Garden Design has become the first garden design college to launch a special professional development day supporting their recent graduates.

Director Andrew Fisher Tomlin said “we were conscious that it is tough out there and we want our graduates to succeed in their new careers so we decided to offer them a free focussed day’s training to update them on the skills that really matter.”

The 2013 Graduate Inspiration Day will inspire new thinking and update professional business skills. As well as the College Directors graduates will benefit from specialist talks on engaging customers through social media and how to create a business that is bigger than just themselves.

Fisher Tomlin added “we always want to display the talents and achievements of our students and graduates and this new day is another way in which they get value for the investment that they have made with us. It is vital that our students succeed as it reflects on all we do for them.”

In recent years London College of Garden Design students have won more awards in the Society of Garden Designers Awards than any other college and in 2012 and 2013 students have reached the finals of the RHS Young Garden Designer of the Year competition. Many now work with some of the world’s leading designers such as Andy Sturgeon and Luciano Giubbelei.

Gary Drostle

In an age of franchise driven high streets and off the peg landscape solutions, the local, unique and historic are all too easily lost. Re-establishing a sense of place, history and local identity is a core need for our environments and site specific artworks offer a unique and high quality solution.

From small scale interventions such as QR code paviors to large landmark sculptures Gary Drostle’s work has been re-connecting communities with their environments by enhancing local identity and bringing hidden histories to light.

Award winning London based artist Gary Drostle creates site specific artworks for landscape and architecture. Specialising in wall and floor mosaics and mosaic sculptures Gary’s work brings colour and durability to the environment. His work uses natural stones, hand made Italian glass or tough ceramics to create these beautiful features, each one designed uniquely to reflect the character of the area. With over twenty-five years experience Gary has built an international reputation for his mosaic art and can create works in both traditional and modern styles, always with a strong emphasis on design. Developing ideas in collaboration with architects, landscape designers, local communities and local authorities Gary’s work can be seen in parks, town centres and public buildings across the UK and in the USA. Gary will be exhibiting at LANDSCAPE this September as part of the QEST demonstration area. www.drostle.com
