This year there are nine entries in the Inspiring Spaces category, all designed to inspire you to think creatively about container planting.
The Gold medal winning entry by the Ebrington and District Gardening Club chose a day out at Wimbledon as its theme, with an umpire's ladder chair be-decked with strawberries and a panama hat planted with white alyssum as the cream. The rest of the planting was mainly white including some lovely clematis, which sprawled over a lush green lawn, demonstrating that they can be grown as a trailing plant where there is no room for them to climb.
The simple plant combination of graduating box balls, marigolds and spider plants in copper-effect boxes was the dramatic entry from the London Gardens Society. It demonstrated that for smart, urban spaces, a bold, limited palette is often the better choice.
The idea that could probably be incorporated into most people's garden comes from the Capel Gardener's Society. Their inspiring space is called 'We'll keep a welcome in the woodpile' and shows what can be done if you have an old dead tree and a few bits of wood in a corner of your garden. The top of the tree stump is cleverly carved out to form a birdbath and the logs are piled up around it. Plants such as violas and ferns are poked in among them. The whole area becomes a haven for all sorts of wildlife and looks really pretty.
Bourne Valley Garden Centre has gone all out to show that fruit and veg can be grown ' Anyplace, anywhere' and they've got some old wellies with chives sprouting from the top to prove it!
I'll be taking a look at the contents of my attic in a whole new light when I get home...
