Members of the Society of Garden Designers at Chelsea
  Once again, there will be a number of leading SGD garden designers participating in the show and the SGD is hoping to capitalise on previous achievements: in the last two years, SGD members have received a total of 23 Medals including eight Gold Medals, seven Silver-Gilt Medals, five Silver Medals and three Bronze Medals.

Registered members of the SGD (MSGD) participating at Chelsea include the renowned landscape designer, author and TV presenter Andy Sturgeon (MSGD) who makes a welcome return to Chelsea this year with the Daily Telegraph Show Garden. Andy has won numerous awards, including four consecutive gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show from 2005 to 2008. Andy’s garden started from the idea that life takes you down many different paths and he has designed his garden using a series of metal screens that block off and open up vistas as you pass through the garden.

This year, Thomas Hoblyn (MSGD) is putting on his first full-sized show garden at Chelsea. The Foreign & Colonial Investments’ garden celebrates the C18th novel Candide ou l’optimisme by Voltaire. The field-like layout of the garden is suggestive of the Turkish smallholding where the novel was set and the planting and pools of water in the design add an appropriate Mediterranean flavour. This style of garden could easily be found in the warmer parts of the UK and demonstrates new ways with exotic plants, now possible in a changing climate.

Following on from his silver-medal winning garden last year, Nicholas Dexter (MSGD) will be unveiling his Naturally Fashionable Garden for Brand Alley at Chelsea this year. The garden, which is one of the Urban Gardens at the Show, is inspired by the avant-garde and pioneering work of textile designer Sonia Delaunay. Her block coloured textile designs were a great influence for the garden layout which combines strong geometry with natural planting.

Jason Lock (MSGD) and Chris Deakin (MSGD) of Deakin Lock will be working with John Woods Nurseries to create a small, contemporary garden that will be included in the National Garden Centre at Capel Manor College. All elements of the garden have been designed to be transportable and the garden will be transferred in June to join the series of ‘Show Gardens’ set up by Capel Manor, with support of the RHS, for the public to enjoy.
