SPECIAL AWARD FOR BEST DESIGN AND BUILD FOR THE GARDEN COMPANY LTD

James Scott ( MBALI MSGD ) and his team at The Garden Company Ltd were awarded a highly prestigious Special Award at the BALI National Landscape Awards ceremony on Friday December 2nd .
The Special Award was based on a residential design-and-build project in Bedfordshire . The property was new-build and set within an area that was formerly part of a large estate . The dream was to transform this ‘ blank canvas ’ into a family haven with a warm , naturalistic feel .
Following their close scrutiny of the project , the BALI Judging Panel offered the following comments : ‘ The transformation from bland , uninspiring , ‘ new build ’ landscaping to a landscape designed and constructed to fill the heart and the senses is a joy to behold . A strong design and planting plan , delivered by excellent construction , provide the house with a beautiful setting to be enjoyed now and in the years to come ’.
James commented , “ We were already celebrating the two National
Awards that BALI had given to this scheme , for Design Excellence and Domestic Garden Construction . It was a fantastic bonus to find out that the judges had decided to give us a Special Award for our design creativity and landscaping craftmanship . Being recognised in this way for our commitment to creating beautiful bespoke , handcrafted spaces feels great ! A special thank you to our excellent suppliers and of course our own talented landscapers , who apply their expertise so well and support our clients every step of the way ’.
