GARDEN DESIGN
Last year’ s competition attracted over 75 entrants, including some extraordinary displays of skill. West Sussex-based Harrie Carnochan won the Professional Gardener category for his precisely sculpted, symmetrical designs, while David Hawson from Aberdeenshire claimed victory in the Home Gardener category with his intricate hedge scene featuring countryside and marine creatures, inspired by Moby Dick.
Owen Simpson, Managing Director at Henchman, said:“ We were blown away by the stunning works of art we received in the inaugural Henchman Topiary Awards. The incredible passion and talent displayed in last year’ s competition was simply inspiring and compelled us to expand the awards across Europe this year in search of even more talented topiarists.
“ Topiary is a timeless traditional art form that has taken on a new lease of life in the garden in recent years, which was evident in the creativity of the entries we received. We can’ t wait to see what works of art are submitted this year and celebrate the professionals and home gardeners who have created them!”
Submissions are open from 20th March until 31st May 2025. To enter,
participants are invited to submit photographs and a brief description of their topiary work through the official competition page at https:// www. henchman. co. uk / pages / henchman-topiary-awards.
