Ashleigh says: “I’m extremely proud of my Woodland Trust Show Garden at RHS Tatton, where our design earned a Gold Medal in 2024, and I was honored to
receive the RHS Young Designer of the Year award. The garden highlighted the alarming loss of 49% of ‘trees outside woods’ in the British countryside and addressed biosecurity challenges for the future. It was a project that not only created a striking visual impact but also conveyed a crucial message about the need to protect and restore our woodlands, making it one of my most meaningful designs to date.”
