Landscape gardeners visiting the Malvern Autumn Show at the Three Counties Showground this month (September 26^th/ 27^th) are set to be inspired by a garden designed and created by the winner of this year's Chris Beardshaw Mentoring Scholarship (CBMS), using a host of hard landscaping products from sponsors of the scheme, Bradstone. They will also have the opportunity to buy a selection of Bradstone products for the first time at the show for their own gardening projects.


Paul Hervey-Brookes' design, entitled the Bradstone Equinox Garden, will be located at the entrance of the Good Life Pavilion and showcases a host of Bradstone products including Milldale and Old Town paving and Countrystone walling. The garden landscaping collection from Bradstone, an Aggregate Industries business, will be displayed and on sale next door.

Chris Beardshaw said: "I am passionate about raising the profile of the landscape design industry and skills required to become a professional landscape designer, which was my inspiration for creating the scholarship with Bradstone. We are very much enjoying working with Paul. His enthusiasm for learning and developing his skills is much commended and we are delighted to be able to showcase his first garden as the 2009 scholar at the Malvern Autumn Show."

Group chief executive of Aggregate Industries Bill Bolsover said: "The Chris Beardshaw Mentoring Scholarship is an important partnership for Bradstone as we are always keen to support inspirational design and fresh blood coming into the industry. We will be showcasing a selection of our products to inspire landscaping professionals at Malvern and expect lots of interest in our products during and following the show."

Chris Beardshaw will be giving horticultural advice and talks at the pavilion on Sunday 27^th September. Visitors are also invited to meet Chris, Paul and the CBMS team to find out more about applying for the 2010 scholarship.

Launched to nurture up-and-coming garden designers, the CBMS is a 12 month vocational garden design scholarship offering the winning scholar the chance to work alongside Chris Beardshaw as well as receive invaluable business advice and technical support from Bradstone.

Visitors will be able to visit the Bradstone stand to purchase patio packs and patio feature kits for their own gardening projects, and for expert hard landscaping advice and information on stockists across the UK.
