The Lion King Anniversary Garden by Juliet Sargeant has won Best Show Garden. The garden, which is an ode to the 25th anniversary of Disney’s West End musical and aims to “rethink the English garden” with climate change in mind, also won the Environmental Innovation Award.
Exodus Adventure Travels: The Sounds of Adventure Garden by Nic Howard, a sustainable oasis designed to engage all five senses to invoke a sense of excitement and discovery, secured the Best Construction Award and also won a Silver Gilt medal.
In the Get Started gardens category, Katerina Kantalis scored a hat-trick with The Mediterraneo Garden, which was awarded the Best Get Started prize, Best Construction award and a Gold medal. Inspired by Greek landscapes, it addresses the need for climate adaptation in our gardens.
Winds of Change, by James Miller, Marko Yau and Saachi Parasrampuria, picked up the Best Resilient Pocket Planting award. The coastal pocket garden is inspired by Jaywick Sands on the north Essex coast, one of the UK’s most deprived towns where residents form a resilient coastal community despite facing major challenges from climate change.
