A new feature, designed to showcase entrepreneurs who are making their name in the horticulture world with their gardening skills and creative flair, is being launched at this year’s National Gardening Show.
The initiative is the brainchild of Jo Thompson, one of the country’s rising stars in garden design. Winner of a Silver Gilt medal for the Demelza Garden at the Chelsea Flower show in 2009 followed by a Gold medal last year for the Best Urban Garden in show, Jo is always on the look-out for new talent and ideas. As she commented: “The reason for creating Bright Green Shoots is to inspire gardeners to experiment with new ideas whatever the size of their garden. The entrepreneurs I have chosen are all very different, but unified by the passion and imagination to create something that will help make a difference to the environment and get people gardening – whether it be wild flowers, an olive grove or an eco vertical allotment”.
