Award Winning

In September 2026 we took part in creating a ‘Beautiful Border’ at Gardeners’ World Autumn Fair, Audley End.

We came home proudly with a ‘Silver Merit’ award for our very first garden design and construction, and couldn’t be happier.

As purely hobbyists, this meant the world.

Our border was always going to be true to the the fun and encouragement that our ‘happypotting’ style believes in.

Interaction and positive energy with a “you can do great things” vibe all around.

Having guests able to engage in the border by being physically involved in the final display was everything for us! Turning over plant pots, finding joyful hidden messages, generating smiles. Perfect!

A woman in denim overalls and a wide-brimmed hat stands outdoors in front of a wooden garden arch decorated with green plants and flowers, holding a small brown ceramic cup. There is a table with a cup, a bowl, and other items, and a striped mug on a ceramic plant pot.

From this build, we not only made amazing friends along the way and received valuable feedback through learning, we also raised over £600 for charity.
