20 Tips from a Head Gardener - Pip Smith
I’m a Landscape Designer with over 13 years experience working as a professional horticulturist. Trained to degree level in horticulture at Pershore College, I have achieved an MA in Landscape Architecture with distinction, from Birmingham City University. I’ve held the post of Head Gardener at several private and public gardens, most recently at the highly acclaimed Wollerton Old Hall in Shropshire. Now a Pre-Registered Member of the Society of Garden Designers, I’m using my previous knowledge and experience to create imaginative, sympathetic and long lasting designs.
Taking inspiration from the natural world, I enjoy mixing the old and new. Design should consider and embrace the challenges we all face. For a green space to be successful it must connect with the user and wider landscape, allowing room to grow and mature.
I love the landscape’s hidden attributes, its ability to soothe, restore, provide comfort, solace and reflection, all key elements to design.

GARDEN FEATURES, PLANT COMBINATIONS AND POTS FOR SUMMER
TALK BY GORDON MALT
Gordon Malt, a retired tree surgeon and experienced gardener will be giving an illustrated talk.
In his own half acre garden, near Shifnal, which he and his wife open for charity, Gordon manages to combine his love of growing vegetables with flowing flower borders, one streaming seamlessly into the other. He describes his own style as 'controlled relaxation'. As a finalist in the 2015 Daily Mail National Garden Competition Gordon is well placed to share his gardening and design know how. Hopefully we can all take away some interesting ideas for our own gardens.
