You are all to kind, I'll upload some pics when I get them. It's nothing fancy really, just a back to back garden 6mx4m with sandstone wall built on a batter, timber planters formed out of reclaimed scaffy boards, self binding gravel, a sky line of liverpool constructed with ply, paint, bamboo knitting needles and string haha. Ill try and paste the link for the RHS website.

Just read through the blog, I think they have to meet minimal criteria to get a bronze, so you have a lot of crap gardens getting bronze. Kind of like everyone gets a medal day at school so the eejits don't feel left out. :laugh:

Thanks for sorting the link lads.
I agree Tony the mornflake garden was by far the best.
I noticed the Diamond gardens cutting and lack of mitres, also the differing colour of pointing in the joints.
World Skills Challenge need a new tutor, shocking scenes there.
Would do another garden next year but would like to lay some paving.....

I always think the ends justifys the means
i do not like hitting a level but have been known to tap one on occasion
Not sure about scaff boards as planters
but I am sure you executed the designers dreams matty
and that is what these folk want
hopefully you will get some big ones out of it
cheers LLL :)

There was a meaning to all the materials used believe it or not ;) It was because they charity had used them in garden they had built on Toxteth and the skyline is the veiw from the garden, the wall built on a batter is what surrounded the garden at the site as well.....and yes your right I just did what she asked :D
The name of the stonemason that built the mornflake garden is Andy Lowden, not sure where he is from but his work is top notch
