Want to see what sits behind my award-winning show garden?

This short project overview shares the thinking, the design process and the decisions that shaped Renewed Blooms, from the first idea to the finished build. Have a look if you’re curious to see beyond the final images and understand how it all came together.

The overview walks through the introduction to the studio, the sponsor and the brief, the concept development, the design plan and photos of the finished garden. You can see more on the Renewed Blooms project page.
