Yes that was me! Just returned from HC, very, very wet and muddy and not looking forward to going through it all again tommorow. Did win a medal though - silver gilt - so very happy.

Which was your garden at Hampton Court and how did you get on? I went on Tuesday and really enjoyed the variety the show gardens had to offer.

Hi Krista.
Am I right that you designed the Anglian Home Improvements garden? I entered their competition at Capel too. It was an exercise in speed designing plus I could not attend the brief. I saw your design at Enfield a couple of weeks back. It was nice to have been beaten by a winning design that I liked.
Intrigued about your 'Save it, don't pave it' campaign - do you not find a conflict of interest working with a company that sells large expanses of block paving or have you put them on the straight and narrow? What is this about a change in planning law regarding non permeable paving requiring planning permission from October this year?

Anyway. Good luck with your garden. I will be manning the Capel Manor/NCCPG stand on Thursday morning so will come round and have a good look.

-Ian

Hi Krista, How exciting, a garden at Hampton Court! Will you let us all know how the build up to it is going, and what the latest dramas/nightmares/dilemmas/high points are. Is it your first time? And are you allowed to tell us what the garden is going to be like?? Hope all goes well, linette
