GARDEN DESIGN
Taking centre-stage in the garden is F . H . Brundle ’ s Straightcurve edging and raised beds .
Made from high-quality weathering steel , Straightcurve products are built to last , reducing waste and the need for replacements .
The modular design and pre-drilled components allow for quick and easy installation with minimal tools , minimising environmental impact .
Straightcurve ’ s Flex and Rigid options provide both clean lines and flowing curves , catering to a variety of design needs .
adapted to harsh climate realities like droughts and heavy rain .
By showcasing techniques for reduced water use , increased use of reclaimed materials , and the creation of vital habitats , the Climate-Forward Garden demonstrates how even small spaces can become beautiful , sustainable retreats .
Steel groundscrews replace concrete for a more eco-friendly approach to securing the boundary fence .
Recycled gravel gardens create natural soakaways for heavy rainfall , while drought-tolerant plants and gravel mulch further minimise water needs .
They played a central role in the finished garden , as Melanie explains : “ We ’ ve loved working with Straightcurve throughout the garden to make the warm embrace of a conversation pit .
“ All the landscapers love working with Straightcurve – it gives a really neat edge and we can bend it super easily to make these undulating curves , which let us create circles and waves .”
Another highlight of the show was the anticipated RHS Peat-Free Garden , created by renowned landscape firm Beaufort & Rampton in collaboration with celebrity garden designer Arit Anderson , a familiar face from Gardener ’ s World .
This showstopper featured over 20 metres of Straightcurve Flex Garden Edging in weathered steel finish to create beautiful curved pathways , adding a touch of elegance .
F . H . Brundle Managing Director Michael Brundle comments : “ Straightcurve ’ s innovative design and sustainable ethos were a perfect fit for these two fantastic gardens .
“ Both had a huge impact on the day . Congratulations to Arit and Melanie for their hard work and achievement .”
