2022 BALI Award winning garden design and build greenhouse project

The clients brief was to design and build a greenhouse and vegetable garden that looked like it had always been part of the estate and gardens in the Cotswolds.

Working alongside the head gardener we formulated a plan for a formal vegetable garden using low dry stone walls for the vegetable beds and a traditional greenhouse with stone walls and a reclaimed flagstone floor.

The stone is reclaimed Cotswold stone from the estate, to avoid waste and reuse what was already available to us. The greenhouse also has its own irrigation system collecting water from the terrace and roof of the greenhouse and then storing it in a tank underneath the ground.

All in all a successful project, which is very eco friendly due to the irrigation system and materials used within the project. Garden lighting was used throughout the project to illuminate the paths and low dry stone walls and greenhouse at night.

This project was a award winner and best first time entrant at the prestigious BALI awards in 2021.  The judges said:

“The contractor responsible for this outstanding project is an artisan and craftsman in the truest sense of those words. This scheme is a direct reflection of his passion for and dedication to realising the vision of the client and the clients head gardener to the very best of his professional ability, and doing so in testing times. It is an exemplar of professionalism of which all BALI contractors should be proud.”
