Mark Gregory Managing Director, Landform Consultants

10.00 SEMINAR ROOM 1 The Beauty is in the Build is back again this year for more lively discussion on the state of the construction side of the landscape industry. This year’s panellists are sure to have plenty to say – Mark Gregory, Norman Hambrook and Charles Benton will be in the hot seat, ready to answer the audience’s questions.

Norman Hambrook Managing Director, Hambrooks Landscapes

Norman Hambrook is a founder member of the APL and has been an active member of BALI since 1979. He has served on the Horticultural Trade Association (HTA) National Council and in 2010 he was given one of the highest accolades for the industry when he received a Landscape and Amenity Lifetime Achievement Award. He began his landscaping business in April 1970 with just a spade and a fork. By 1976 he had bought a piece of land with run-down greenhouses in Titchfield, which is now a garden landscaping centre. In 1983 he extended the business further and bought the land and wholesale nursery in Curdridge, now the Hambrooks head office, where four businesses operate under the group umbrella. Riding four recessions, Hambrooks now employs more than 80 staff and has won over 60 national industry awards.

Mark is a 20-time gold medal winner at the Chelsea Flower Show and has won numerous industry awards for projects in London and the South East. His dynamic approach, energy and experience have given him a reputation for innovation and technical expertise within the landscaping community. As well as heading up Landform, Mark is incredibly active in the landscaping and horticultural industries. He lectures all over the country delivering workshops and seminars for the Society of Garden Designers, BALI and APL and is regularly consulted by other designers and contractors. Mark has been a board member of the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI), is chair of the APL and has recently been appointed as a director of the HTA. Mark is a regular RHS judge and assessor, and a former member of the Chelsea Gardens panel.

Charles Benton

Charles set up his own business, Benton Landscapes, at the age of 22 and takes great pride in both the quality and detail of workmanship, aiming consistently to deliver the very highest quality service to every single one of his clients. Charles recently appeared on ITV’s This Morning where, alongside his brother, he created five small themed gardens.

Curves in all the right places!

Here is something new from Jacksons - The Curve is a sleek and simple structure - one continuous curve, that arches gracefully from the ground.

There’s no need for posts, with this seemingly gravity defying contemporary garden shelter.

It is fastened securely to the ground with three strong steel blades that are dug in at the

COVER SELECTED 2.indd 4

corners and mid points on each side. As with all Jacksons timber products it is made from Jakcured pressure treated softwood, guaranteed for 25 years.

The generous interior space is big enough to set up a dining area, leaving ample room for a chill out zone. This is enhanced by the unusual effects produced

by sunlight shining through the horizontal slats, which creates a calming setting for relaxing in.

Imagine illuminating the curves at night with LED strips to create a memorable dramatic effect.

The possibilities of how to use this unique outdoor space are endless, and it has the added benefit of having clear polycarbonate sheets attached

to the panels, making it shower proof.

You can find out lots more about the Curve and its little sister, the Demi Curve, (pictured below) by going to: jacksons-fencing.co.uk/curve Or you can see it at the Futurescapevent at Sandown Park this November, we look forward to seeing you there.

The

Passion is in the Plants 12.00 SEMINAR ROOM 1

Back for a second year, the Passion is in the Plants brings three more passionate plant experts to the stage.

This year, the debate focuses on how, when and why plants should be bought. Panellists will offer tips on how to secure the plant you want in the condition you want it, and in timely fashion. Richard McKenna of Provender Nurseries, Angela Halksworth of Tendercare and Adam Dunnett of Wyevale Nurseries will take questions from Jim Wilkinson and the audience.

ANGELA HALKSWORTH director tendercare nurseries LTD

Entrepreneurial by nature, having grown up living on a family narrow boat business, Angela originally entered the industry via interior landscaping. It was here her path crossed with future husband Andrew Halksworth, with whom she founded Tendercare Nurseries Ltd in 1989.

Understanding that clients are making a significant investment when choosing plant specimens, the company offers a range of services to support landscapers and professional designers, who often visit the nursery with their clients. The company has recently completed an extensive phase of refurbishment to display a tailored selection of evergreen trees, shrubs and mature climbers suitable for modern, garden room style gardens, in addition to unique character pieces for special projects.

Past projects include the Hampton Court Privy Garden redevelopment, Battersea Park restoration, IMAX Cinema climber walls, Oval Cricket Ground ariel planting screens, living walls at Wimbledon and supply to private gardens throughout the South East of England.

RICHARD MCKENNA managing director PROVENDER NURSERIES

Richard McKenna is hands on when it comes to plants and can often be found getting his hands dirty on site at Provender Nurseries.

Coming from a farming background, his passion for plants led to Writtle College where he gained an HND in Commercial Horticulture before starting work as a trainee manager in the retail sector for many years.

Following a year working in New Zealand selling plants, Richard developed an interest in New Zealand natives. On his return and now working in the wholesale plant sector, Richard was offered an opportunity to set up Wyevale East Nurseries, the precursor to Provender Nurseries. After 13 years at the same site, Provender Nurseries continues to go from strength to strength under Richard’s enthusiasm and drive.

An enthusiastic speaker on plants, how they grow and how to buy properly, Richard is well versed to cover plant procurement at FutureScape.

ADAM DUNNETT

Sales & Marketing Director Wyevale Nurseries Adam has worked for a number of UK nurseries in both production and sales roles gaining over 25 years’ horticultural experience.

Adam completed his apprenticeship at Ellis Brothers Nurseries, Evesham, before joining Jardinerie Garden Centres and then attending Pershore College. He spent his middle year at Webbs of Wychbold and stayed there for 13 years, eventually becoming nursery director. He then moved on to become the group plant buyer at Blooms Garden centres for three years and when Blooms was bought by The Garden Centre Group he became its plant buyer, a role he held for seven years.

Currently the sales and marketing director at Wyevale Nurseries, Adam oversees the sales and marketing activities in both its retail and amenity markets.

Both David’s parents were teachers, so education has always been a high priority. He has lectured on garden design and constuction at Merrist Wood and Inchbald School of Design and regularly gives workshops and lectures for the various industry organisations including BALI, SGD and the RHS. In 2012, David became chairman of BALI’s South Thames region and in 2015 was elected as a director on the BALI National Board.

16.00 SEMINAR ROOM 1 Let’s Hear It Live returns to FutureScape this year with the enigmatic Ann-Marie Powell taking to the stage to be questioned by Pro Landscaper’s Jim Wilkinson. Ann-Marie will offer an insight into her career in garden design and her television presenting roles Multi-award-winning garden designer Ann-Marie Powell has been awarded gold medals at RHS Chelsea and most recently at RHS Hampton Court in 2015. She is also a well-known author, journalist and broadcaster, most recently presenting the BBC RHS Chelsea coverage and The Great Chelsea Garden Challenge on BBC2, both in 2015.

Ann-Marie started her innovative, energetic garden design practice in 1999, and has built an impressive portfolio of gardens designed to combine the best of contemporary design with innovative use of materials in a naturalistic style.

Her portfolio includes private and commercial gardens (including Grade 1 and 2 listed), roof terraces, public spaces, hotels, school gardens and grounds, show gardens, community gardens and development projects.

Ann-Marie designs all her gardens in her own studio near the South Downs on the West Sussex/Hampshire border, and is constantly inspired by the view of the surrounding, ever-changing landscape.

Ann-Marie has written no less than four informative and inspiring books published in the UK, USA and Europe. These books draw on her real-life experiences with trowel and spade, and her own love of unusual materials and hard landscape design.

Urban Space.

This small garden represented an inner courtyard; a place to connect with nature, to sit and relax and drink a cup of tea. It was inspired by the modern oriental style within Asian architecture and explored the use of a small garden space both functionally and visually. Carlow Blue Limestone paving was used for the walkway and seating area to contrast with the planting. A pool of water reflected the sky, helping to give the garden a feeling of being bigger. The planting scheme was essentially simplistic, containing only a few varieties of plants and no flowers; focusing on green tonal values with the emphasis on foliage texture and form. Bamboo added a leafy background to provide privacy and to soften the area. Acer palmatum provided structure and seasonal changes and was under planted with grasses and ferns.

Materials: Carlow Blue limestone in 400 x 800 x 30mm sawn all sides, flamed top face, non-fossil selection.

It is made from natural low lime clays, quartz felspar, and formed using intense heat and pressure.
