We were delighted to be commissioned by the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) to design their garden at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show this summer.
The APL's 'A Place to Meet' Garden brief was to provide a space for the public and the APL's network of landscapers to make contact and discuss potential projects around the country.

"I have to be honest, we were not the easiest clients for VaRa in that we gave limited information, limited time and limited resource. All we knew is we wanted a place for potential clients to meet, that would be welcoming, relaxing and still give some impact, so they left knowing this was a professionally designed space.
VaRa delivered on every level, taking a leading hand in sourcing materials, working with the contractors and making excellent use of the budget. The design ticked every box, especially the planting where they showed a real understanding of form, placement and colour combinations. The garden was a show stopper for many and truly became a great place to meet."
