Instant Hedges and Andy Tudbury at BBC Gardeners’
World Live 2010
We were delighted to supply landscape designer Andy Tudbury with our fabulous 2.5 metre high Fagus Sylvatica hedging for his recent installation at BBC Gardeners’ World Live. Andy chose this particular variety of instant hedging to compliment his outstanding design and to provide the perfect perimeter wall for his creation. The show was a great success for Andy and we look forward to supporting him on future projects.

Gardeners’ World Cup inspiration
The Norfolk coastline was the inspiration for Andy Tudbury's last show garden, but his latest has been spurred on by something more unusual.
For the BBC Gardeners’ World Live show, which has been taking place at the NEC in Birmingham this week, Andy has planted a ten by nine metre garden in the shape of a football pitch.
Using the World Cup as inspiration, it features a border of highly-scented English roses, trees, a beech hedge and a pitch. It even has a bench at the half-way mark.
"I always look to do something different whenever I do garden shows," says Andy, who lives in Papplewick.
Speaking before the start of the show, he said, "The piece will reflect a very traditional English garden but with a twist, to reflect the World Cup.
"The piece will be surrounded by roses and trees and will hopefully be very colourful and fragrant."
The piece was commissioned by recycling company Tyre Disposal, and Andy has used Re-Bound garden chippings which are made from old car tyres.
