The winning gardens in the Society of Garden Designers’ annual competition
have been unveiled. The Grand Award went to Ian Smith for this garden at
Millwater, Surrey. The judges said the garden “achieves one of the most
difficult goals in garden design; it really feels as if it has been in situ
for several decades… It is a well-executed, integrated design with sharp
edges softened by sophisticated planting.” The garden also won the
prize for Large Residential Garden.
