Silver Winner David Bell-Booth used the bright colour contrasts he loves in this design called, "Our tropical Paradise".
.

Rivers of colour contrasted with textural stones, lichen, succulents, lambs ear and poppy seeds. 

Statice, Bells of Ireland, calla, gerberas, anthurium and agapanthus added the colour bursts.

Bronze award winner, with Fanastia, was a romantic  garden, very feminine,  very wistful.

The rose petal path led up to the fairy on the swing. She was crowned with a headband of tiny rose buds and Singapore orchids and surrounded by  a parallel design of delphiniums, gerberas,  and roses. Tiny  points of interest included the gerberas with pearl centres, and sparley balls of glieeter.
