Events

Even though it may be said that there’s nothing new about gardening, every year more and more people are drawn to this most pleasing of outdoor pursuits. It’s no longer something for you to do in your time off, but rather an event that people think about on a daily basis and become truly engrossed in. The chance to create an extra ‘room’ in previously unused spaces has become the watchword of the new Millennium and as such the Lifestyle Garden Design Show has become an example to the creators in the industry.

Since 1997, Lifestyle College student Landscape Designers have imagined and created great garden designs that are workable in any home environment. Not only do the annual show gardens exhibit the latest design trends and extraordinary landscaping skill, but they also display ingenious creativity, imaginative interpretation and resourceful capturing of pertinent topics, all the while ensuring that the gardens are not only sensually appealing but also relevant and realistic.

With more focus being given to ‘Garden-tainment’ – in the very pertinent sunny South Africa – it’s time to take our outdoor entertaining spaces that step further and create livable living outdoor rooms. Be they intimate private gardens or bold landscapes, our Garden Design Show creates the cutting edge design that inspires consumers to implement relevant trends into their own garden.

With more and more people living in less and less space, there is a greater need to make smart decisions about what to grow and how to grow it. As show gardens are essentially ‘small space gardens’, visitors to the show will be exposed to the most appropriate ways of creating their ideal compact garden, with rich colours and textures creating major focal points.
