DRAWN FROM NATURE The Marston & Langinger colour palette was created by architectural designers to match, contrast or complement natural stones and flora. The paints are not only beautiful, but also technically superior. Their genesis was working with the world’s leading marine coating experts for Marston & Langinger to protect and enhance its most valuable garden room creations. Self-priming, extraordinarily durable with impeccable environmental credentials, Marston & Langinger paint is now available to buy in a choice of three finishes: Exterior Eggshell; Interior Eggshell and a stunning, similarly durable, super-chalky Interior Matt.

Taming the rural landscape to create a pleasing garden to suit your lifestyle can be a challenge. There is an abundance of beauty to be found in the countryside, but Nature will inevitably throw up difficulties, such as water-logged heavy clay, windswept hillsides and fields that flood. Juliet Sargeant thrives on a challenge and has many years of experience in moulding the landscape and selecting the right plants in order to create beautiful gardens that sit well in their surroundings. Last year Juliet was awarded the 2012 inaugural prize for a sustainable garden by the Society of Garden Designers. Her own garden is a windswept coastal site. So, if you are wondering how to co-exist happily with the rabbits and deer that graze your garden, please contact Juliet for a consultation or visit her website: www.julietdesigns.co.uk Juliet will be one of the featured speakers at LANDSCAPE this September.

Q Lawns
Q Lawns are looking forward to exhibiting at the LANDSCAPE show this autumn and will be showing some old favourites and one exciting new product that will have the designers drooling. This year, the Norfolk based grower celebrates 20 years of supplying quality turfgrass to the nation. Over the years, Q Lawns turf has been used in such prestigious locations as the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, Legoland Windsor and the Olympic Park. Sales and Marketing Manager Chris Carr says “We’re proud to have reached this landmark anniversary and see it as proof that landscapers and gardeners like our turf and they like our service – they must do – because they keep coming back for more!” Another popular product grown on the Q Lawns’ farm is Enviromat sedum matting which is great for low maintenance ground cover, but what it’s most often used for is creating living green roofs on garden buildings. Living roofs are more or less mainstream these days and because Enviromat is lightweight, easy and competitively priced it just keeps on increasing in popularity.
Wayne Hart Wayne Hart is an ardent lettercutter, lettering artist and typographer. As one of only a handful of young carvers working in this specialist area, he is focused on maintaining this traditional craft while seeking to drive it forward with innovative ideas and modern technologies. Carving in both stone and wood, he also works with other materials such as metals, plastics and glass, taking letterform across new boundaries and into previously unexplored territories. His work to date has included commemorative gifts, public art projects, memorials, signage and artwork for exhibition. Seeking to achieve the highest levels of craftsmanship, he is dedicated to creating beautiful inscriptions and low-relief carving. His designs are skillfully drawn by hand, with lettering and imagery tailored to suit each client’s needs. These are then carved by hand with mallet and chisel, paying the closest attention to detail. Q Lawns are constantly looking at ways of making Enviromat even more convenient to use, including, touring the Country giving talks to landscapers and garden designers on how and why to incorporate green roofing. “Biodiversity, using native plants and cutting maintenance costs are all hot topics at the moment” says Angela Lambert from Q Lawns. Meadowmat their wild flower matting meets all three of these criteria and it’s so much easier than seeding or plug planting. Angela said “We’re doing a little bit of product development at the moment and hope to have something exciting to show off at the LANDSCAPE show later on this year”.

Jennifer Grey Jennifer Gray designs and makes objects and jewellery in a range of materials, which move in and out of the hand-made, and the digital. Each series is unified, in particular through use of traditional hand carving methods, enhanced by taking advantage of emerging digital technologies. Jennifer sees herself as a link in a chain of makers. She uses what she has learned from the past to blend it with what is available to her today to contribute towards the future. She wants to demonstrate that new technological approaches can blend naturally into a piece of work as a means to build upon what’s gone before. ‘Amphora Garlands’ and ‘Tessellating Wall Tiles’ have been made using digital carving methods developed during her postgraduate studies at the Royal College of Art. She casts the final pieces in reconstituted marble in a mixture of marbled tones, which are then deliberately distressed to give the impression of something more ancient. These wall tiles can be applied to interior or exterior walls using regular household tile adhesive.

Coworth Park Estate is located near Ascot, in Berkshire. The house and estate comprises over 14 hectares of gardens and woodlands. The brief for the landscape design was to create a new luxurious setting for the new use of Coworth Park House as an eco country house hotel, with leisure activities within a wider parkland setting, including the existing Coworth Park Polo Club. The latter is a popular venue within the British aristocracy. Aggregate Industries provided the solution by supplying 1000m2 of Chinese Winter Green paving with a riven finish, which was used within the parkland setting. Additionally another 1600m2 of Chinese Green Sandstone with a sawn and finely textured finish, was supplied which was used around the perimeter of Coworth House and also The Garden Terrace and Formal Gardens. A further 3000Lm of Granite Kerb was used as a contrast banding against the Green Sandstone Setts at the entrance to Coworth House.

Indu+ Cooking today is a social occasion unlike in earlier times when the cook was shut away in the kitchen for hours and cut off from the guests. Now we want to have a great time with our guests and this will preferably take place outdoors in nice weather. We want to lose as little time as possible and eat together heartily. The Belgian company indu+ is introducing a completely new cooking experience. Its rolling trolleys mean you can move the kitchen outside in an instant. The induction hobs in the trolleys are modular and can therefore be easily changed and adapted to the menu requirements: cooking, using a wok, grilling, teppanyaki... Outdoor cooking no longer has to mean just a (gas) barbecue. With the indu+ trolleys it has a completely new dimension. The modularity of both the trolleys and the hobs means your outdoor kitchen can be fully personalised. Induction cooking is also advancing irresistibly as this type of cooking is quick, safe and energy efficient. The company uses the trolleys to adapt perfectly to a fluid, flexible lifestyle and the trend in which the boundaries between indoors and outdoors fade away. Full details of the entire Indu+ range will be available on their stand at LANDSCAPE. www.induplus.eu
Gaze Burvill Gaze Burvill have worked regularly with landscape architects Robert Myers Associates, and were delighted when a project for a beautiful large historic square in Richmond came under discussion, to transform a rather empty, bland space into a lively public amenity, modern, verdant and stylish. There were of course many planning constraints, most importantly, a long-running market had to be able to operate, monthly, unimpeded as it had done for many years. Robert wanted to place trees of a good size in the middle of the Square, to soften the empty space, which would have to be moved for the market, so he came to Gaze Burvill, who were already supplying the project seating, to see if they could come up with a solution for large planters, to cope with the technical challenges of being movable. The Gaze Burvill design team created a steel inner ‘cage’ for the planters: a thin structure able to bear all the stress of each two-ton load: sizeable Amelanchier trees, chosen for the project, the watering system, and an anchoring and locking mechanism too, operable only by authorised personnel. Wheels were needed too, to cope with moving the weighty planters over the cobbled, uneven ground safely: on-site tests were carried out using pallets of bricks to verify that everything worked properly. This was a great project, which highlighted the benefits of a landscape architect working with a manufacturer’s design team, to make tailored pieces for a special, adaptable space: an amenity created from scratch. The client was very open to the idea of a bespoke solution, craftsman-made, and British-made, with the value of this choice plain to see once the project was completed.
