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:Tony McC wrote:There's one photie in the show report I posted last week....

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 
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
