MAKITA HELP ALAN TITCHMARSH Build Britain In Bloom garden at Chelsea
Makita power tools have been used by Landform Consultants, the landscape design and maintenance company, to create Alan Titchmarsh’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden, his first for 30 years.
The legendary gardening broadcaster and RHS vice president, celebrated his 50 year career in horticulture, and also half a century of RHS Britain in Bloom, by creating the feature garden at this year’s Show.
A wide collection of Makita power tools, including jigsaws, drills, disc cutters, mitre saws, pumps, blowers, reciprocating saws, self-levelling lasers and demolition hammers, were selected for the build by Mark Gregory, managing director of Landform Consultants.
The 12-man team included six Australian landscapers who won Best in Show at Chelsea last year and were flown over especially to work on the garden.
The show garden, designed by the talented and award winning Kate Gould, was called ‘From the Moors to the Sea’ and reflects Alan’s career journey that starts in the Yorkshire Dales, where he was born, and finishes with a seaside scene to represent the Isle of Wight, Alan’s current family home.
The garden featured monolithic boulders, dry stone walls, a waterfall, beach hut and a beach.
