I did a show garden.

I submitted a design for a Long Border at this years RHS Flower Show Tatton Park. I'm in my first year as a garden designer, like so many battling the oversaturated market on social media and desperate to work on anything which can be used in my portfolio,

I saw this as an exercise to see how the submission process worked and knew that part of the experience involves feedback on your design.

I did not expect to be asked to exhibit, nor that I'd be bringing home a Silver medal, and I'm especially shocked to come home thinking, I can't wait to do that again...
