Create Your Garden Vision at Tatton Park 2012

The RHS is calling on garden designers, landscapers, artists and architects to create an exclusive Visionary Garden for RHS Flower Show Tatton Park 2012. This category offers the chance to break the mould and go beyond commercial garden design by pushing boundaries and using horticulture as a medium of expression, installation and art.

Show Manager, Kris Hulewicz says: “The Visionary Gardens category encourages designers to have a strong creative imagination and the foresight to deliver gardens that provide both eye-catching beauty and intellectual inspiration.”

The designers chosen by the RHS Garden Selection Panel will receive financial support of £6,000. This can be used to pay for the garden or as a contribution towards the total cost. The gardens will then be judged at the show against RHS garden criteria and will be eligible for an RHS medal.

With extensive media coverage reaching millions of people, the RHS Flower Show Tatton Park is an ideal forum at which designers can showcase and promote their portfolio.

The deadline for the return of applications is 2nd December 2011 and successful applicants will be informed by mid-January 2012.
