Medals galore at Southport Flower Show

This article was first published on Natural Paving

Natural Paving proudly supported two Installers, as part of the company’s debut at Southport Flower Show and is pleased report that the two gardens by Bella Vista and R F Showering won a collection of five medals!

Experienced show garden creator and Landscaper, Rob Showering, took the awards by storm, receiving no less than 4 medals, including the overarching award for the entire show. The beautifully created ‘Green with Pride not Green with Envy’ slate walled garden encompassed a stream and Natural Paving’s Steel Blue flagstones, hand cut by Rob into a unique crazy paving pattern.

Rob’s medals began with a ‘Large Gold Medal’ for the best small garden, 5x5m category. From here he went onto win the ‘MullardTrophy’ for the best small outside garden and the ‘Pontins Trophy’ for best overall outside garden. Finally a proud Rob was awarded the ‘BrockhouseTrophy’ the ultimate, most prestigious award for the best exhibit in show! Congratulations to Rob and his team, whose hard work and effort really paid off.

Another impressive first came from Greg Headley of Bella Vista, as Greg entered his first ever show garden, ‘Summer in Tuscany’ at Southport and came away with an impressive Silver Award for best small garden. Showcasing a range of Natural Paving Products including Calico cobles, Kirkstallstone walling and Rustic Quartz flagstones, the garden attracted much positive attention from the crowds. The visitor consensus was that ‘Summer in Tuscany’ as well as being a beautiful, relaxing space, was also a practical garden that they could imagine within their own domestic gardens.

Natural Paving Marketing Manager Rebecca Hughes commented: “Well done to both Rob and Greg for their amazing gardens. It is lovely to see our gorgeous products used in such stunning designs and a great way to fire the imagination of homeowners looking for inspiration too.”
