Dundalk garden designer Paul Martin has won a gold medal in the Show Garden category at the prestigious Hampton Court Flower Show in London.
Vestra Wealth’s Vista is a smart, modern garden for a contemporary home.
Various levels and layers of planting and hard landscaping surround a dining terrace with a cantilevered cedar table.
Gabions are surrounded by copper and packed with split timber, which helps to encourage wildlife.
Clipped box lawns are used as alternatives to grass, with one of the lawns supporting a cedar water channel that cascades into a copper pool beneath.
The planting has large drifts of verbena, nepeta and lavender, with a colour palette of purples and blues to create a cool atmosphere on a hot summer’s evening.
Paul has previously won gold medals at the likes of Bloom in the Park and and was a silver medallist at the Chelsea Flower Show.
