BBC Gardeners' World Live at the NEC 2026
This garden reimagines a small, usable space with a strong focus on achievable design, combining clean, contemporary lines with rich, accessible planting. High-quality, durable materials are used to demonstrate how thoughtful detailing can elevate even the simplest layout. Key areas of interest include the paving craftsmanship and the planting scheme, designed to be easily replicated in a domestic setting.
GREENHOUSE NOIR
This contemporary garden is an immersive retreat designed to show the impact of a small space. Bold black backdrops create a gallery-like setting, allowing planting to stand out with clarity and contrast. Detailed stone paving and a refined central table add craftsmanship and structure, giving the space a strong architectural feel.
Designed with homeowners in mind, the layout is compact, elegant, and achievable. Using a palette of readily available, resilient plants, the garden demonstrates how a modest area can be transformed into a striking, modern sanctuary.
