* I was invited to the press preview of Gardeners’ World Live and provided with a pair of tickets to visit the show, therefore all my posts will be marked as 'Ad’ though as usual my views and opinions are very much my own.
I’m sharing another Beautiful Border which really is beautiful - it’s My Garden Escape which was QVC’s Headline Border and was designed by Kitti Kovacs. The borders at the show were sponsored by My Garden Escape at QVC which is no doubt why this has a larger plot than the other borders I’ve shared so far, but what a space.
Kitti Kovacs designed it as ‘a versatile haven for connection and serenity’ and I know I’d quite happily spend a good hour or two here especially on a beautiful summer’s day, you know the sort that have been so lacking in the greys of February.
This border aims to provide a space for connections and tranquility - a space for socialising, but also for finding peace. It’s definitely a bit of a haven - though the blue skies and warm weather helped, I’ll admit that!
And while the chairs are at the centre of the design, there’s so much more to it than them. The planting surrounds the seating area and the varying levels of height almost makes it feel enclosed and safe. And the plants were also something special - including some favourites of mine, and a new favourite too.
You see it’s so much more than about the chairs when you look, but they definitely catch your attention don’t they? And it really shouldn’t be a surprise that this garden was awarded a Gold, it really was a fantastic space.
* With thanks to Gardeners’ World for inviting me to Gardeners’ World Live, it was just as good as I expected! I’ll be sharing more from my visit to the show - I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
