Very pleased to say ACE and designer Yvonne have been awarded Gold for their show garden at the NEC.
I was very pleased to play a small part in it all.
This pic was taken in the first few days.A lot has happened since then. ;D
I have been told it will be on Gardeners'world Friday night.
Congrats Ace and Betula!

Give me a digger like that!!
Well done.
I noticed this one on the Gardeners World website and thought how pretty it was, a colourful, but not over the top, alternative to the normal garden building.
Congratulations to all concerned for the hard work it must have taken to create.
Great stuff
I'm just about to set off... I'll have to look out for it... :)

Well done Ace on the gold and i hope for winning the bet for wearing that shirt. ;D
Thanks for the messages folks. Just got home late last night after loading the garden on a couple of Artics. Phone is on meltdown with offers of work, Ill ignore them for a while until we get Hampton Court out of the way, which we start this weekend. I dont think I will have the time to do any photos yet. But I will, promise!
As some f you know from our previous gardens we only do 'pretty' as somebody put it. Greatly influenced by the style of country garden cottages that we are surrounded with over here on the South Island. So if you want some more, you know where to go.
Somewhere on the net I have been told there is a vote for your favourite garden. If you find it let me know.
Well done mate!
And hope some of the phone enquiries turn out to be good uns!

The pavillion will be raffled for Age Concern, The ginko tree will soon be in my garden (a very good home). A lot of the plants went in the sunday sell off, but the rest will be sold this saturday at our own plant sale. They will be advertised as 'seen on tv'. ;D
Brilliant news, Ace ;D
Just got back from a weekend away, but recorded GW so will sit down now and watch it.
Magnolia pointed me in your direction, I have to say very well done on your Gold Medal, and very well-deserved. We loved your planting schemes, the mixes of pinks, purples, yellows, greens, and also loved the colour scheme on the pavillion. I'm guessing I didn't win the mosaic, shame! Well done ;D
Nor me... I wouldn't have known where to put it... :-*
