BBC GARDENERS’ WORLD LIVE
Landform Consultants’ Mark
Gregory has come up with
two designs to test the young
landscapers’ skills and ingenuity.
Mark said “We, at Landform, have
been delighted to get involved
with the Young Landscapers Award
at BBC Gardeners’ World Live
2020 and have come up with two
exciting, yet challenging, front
garden designs. Both gardens are
very different and use a variety of
materials, to show how it’s possible
to create a beautiful and practical
space, despite being small.”
Mark added “The teams will be
thoroughly challenged to deliver the
quality and tolerances the industry
requires, especially given the time
they have to create them.”
For the second year running,
the competition will highlight
front gardens. Mark says “Front
gardens all-too-often overlooked,
disappointing and bland – yet they
can be transformed, with even a
relatively simple design. Let’s not
forget, first impressions count!”
The competition launched in 2018
with two Diarmuid Gavin Show
Gardens with the Bespoke Outdoor
Spaces duo, Jacob Botting and
Laurence Senior, taking home the
winning trophy. In 2019, its second
year, Prof David Stevens designed
the two Show Gardens with
Matthew Woods and Sam Gordon
winning the coveted title.

Phil Tremayne, General manager
of The Association of Professional
Landscapers (The APL), said “It is
fantastic that BBC Gardeners’ World
Live has decided to support this
competition again for 2020. To give
these young, up and coming talents
the opportunity to build at this level,
with mentorship from one of the
best landscapers in the country, is
truly amazing.” Phil continues, “The
APL have organised the landscaping
competition at WorldSkills UK,
alongside its own apprenticeship,
for the last 5 years. Supporting
the industry, as well as the youth
and career-changers entering it,
combined with our high industry
standards, is at the heart of what we
do. I cant wait to see the results of
the competition.”
Come to see the BBC Gardeners’
World Live Young Landscapers
