Help me achieve my BBC Gardeners World dream!

Hi!

My name is Jade and I am a local gardener and designer. This year I have been lucky enough to have my application accepted to showcase my ‘Beautiful Border’ design at the one and only BBC Gardeners World Live 2025.

I am absolutely stoked.

I am relatively new to Garden Design, 5 years ago I decided to take a punt and take on two years of studying from home while juggling children, homeschooling due to COVID and losing my job. But it was so worth it. And now I’m in this amazing position that I would have never thought possible!

The design is called ‘Gardens Apart’ and showcases how even though you may be miles away from friends and family you can feel connected to them via the things you have in your garden, taken from memories. For example, a greenhouse full of tomatoes to remind you of pottering about with your Nan, sweet peas still growing that were planted decades ago by a great grandfather and handed down through generations, a herb patch for those important children’s potions and perfumes, a rose, named after your auntie who was lost too soon.

At the end of the show the plants will be donated to local schools and communities to use for education and wellbeing.

But, here’s the tricky part.

This venture is completely self funded. I am currently trying to find sponsorship from local plant nurseries and suppliers but that isn’t going to be enough to completely cover the build. If you feel that you would like to contribute to this project and amazing opportunity then it would mean A LOT.

I hope to see you there so you can see what it’s all about!

thanks for reading
