Grand Designs Live, Birmingham NEC

Dominic and I have just had a busy weekend exhibiting at Grand Designs Live held at the NEC at Birmingham. We met some really nice people, some of which were about to or are currently building houses. People were very impressed with Dom's lovely wirework Vessel which lots of people stopped to touch to see if it was willow or metal!  We are hoping for lots of garden design/courses/garden visitors and metalwork commissions!! Have got some B&B bookings since the event which is great!.

Come and See us at Grand Designs Live Birmingham NEC Oct 4th - 6th

We are delighted to be exhibiting Dominic's metalwork and our garden, courses and B&B at Grand Designs Live in Birmingham at the NEC this weekend 4th -6th October. Do come and see our stand G15 (Grand Garden section!)

Design your own garden course starts end of September

 

Metal urn made for my birthday by my delicious husband Dominic Watts  who runs www.metallurgi.co.uk

We are enrolling now people who would like help with their gardens layout /problem borders/eyesores etc. Our 14 week part time course starts EVERY Thursday 10-2.30 from 26th September (timings fit in with the school run and we avoid school holidays and most of December!). We visit each student's garden for a morning or afternoon and I carry out a design consultation. Following this we teach students how to draw up the plan. Create a planting plan by putting together plants carefully considering the plants form,texture and colour. Students attending the course have a mix of plant knowledge and aim is to have informative fun and open peoples eyes to the wonderful world of plants. We only have small numbers on each course between 4-12 (much less than a College course so individual tuition) See my website for the course syllabus www.lucyredman.co.uk or ring Lucy 07503 633 671.

Dominic is at Chelsea

Do come and see Dominic at this weeks Chelsea Flower Show (21-25th May). He has created a wonderful woven metal fence along the back of the Alitex Greenhouse stand (on Main Avenue opposite the large show gardens). Alitex are amazing, high quality aluminium greenhouse suppliers to the National Trust and Kew Gardens. Both Metallurgi and Alitex have a modern take on a traditional idea so they fit well. Dom is on the stand every day bar Friday and I am there today (Tuesday) and Saturday. www.metallurgi.co.uk

The garden here at Rushbrooke is open EVERY FRIDAY 10-5 and looks amazing at the moment with a sea of blue Camassia. We have also opened a second B&B room on the ground floor - The Moroccan room. So a choice of Morocco or India now! See pictures on my website www.lucyredman.co.uk
