An Opportunity to Showcase your Design Skills

The Cottage Garden Society is looking for aspiring garden designers who would like to display their talent on our stands

at Malvern Spring Gardening Show in May and Gardeners' World Live at the NEC in June. This would include design, sourcing plants, set-up and take-down, with the help of small team. All materials will be paid for by the Society, plants are negotiable, but can be sold off at the end of the shows.

These stands are important for raising the public awareness of the Society, but also offer any designer a great chance to show what they can do without the need for sponsors - and any award money goes to the designer and team. In the last 2 years, we have won Gold and Silver-gilt at Tatton and we would love to repeat this success at other venues.

Experienced Committee members will give all the help they can and we can supply members to man the stands during the shows. Ultimately, we would like regular teams at each show, but if you are interested in trying your hand, contact the Chair, Pat Matthews, for more information - cgs.chair@cottage-garden.org.uk
