On behalf of Morgan Sindall, the grounds landscaping at University of Huddersfield is now complete and handed over to their maintenance teams.  Beds were prepared, top soil applied and plants supplied, laid out and planted to create a swathe of herbaceous and grasses along walkways and borders to greet students and staff onsite.

British-Designed Fencing and Garden Dividers

For a show garden with a difference and a strong theme such as our Fresh Start: Year of Greenery Garden, we wanted something a little special when it came to creating a backdrop and sections within the garden.  And that’s where Stark & Greensmith came in.  With their Branches range of powder-coated aluminium garden panels, we have the perfect blend of colour, texture and design.

The team at Stark & Greensmith are providing 4 of their off-the-shelf panels but one quick peek at the rest of their ranges on www.starkandgreensmith.com and a whole world of bespoke designs opens up.  A welcome addition to our show garden this year at Harrogate, the architectural panels, laser-cut and de-burred, have given us a strong, long lasting, affordable, and beautiful alternative to traditional wooden fencing.

Thanks for you support and involvement throughout the design, supply and build.

DELIVITA wood-fired table top ovens: Made in Yorkshire

Officially launched at the Ideal Home Exhibition earlier this month, the new DELIVITA Italian-inspired lifestyle brand is the brainchild of two Yorkshire entrepreneurs – and they’re going to take the outdoor cooking world by storm in our Fresh Start Show Garden at Harrogate next week!

Joe Formisano and Olivia Robinson from Delivita have launched their handcrafted table-top wood-fired oven range – all manufactured right here in Yorkshire.  Perfect pizza in just 90 seconds, once the oven has heated – and they’re such and incredibly stylish addition to an outdoor dining area, too.

“Our heritage is Italian, so food and family are at the heart of every occasion, with pizza often playing a starring role,” explained Joe.

“We realised the world was missing something – a good quality artisan home pizza oven at an attainable price.” – Joe Formisano, DELIVITA

Joe and Olivia, who are uncle and niece, will be on hand on our #VIPizza day at the Harrogate Spring Flower Show on Saturday 22 April 2017 between 12 and 2pm.

Countdown to Harrogate

Paxman Landscapes Fresh Start Harrogate Flower Show 2017

It’s coming… sponsors are jumping on board, plans and designs are developing, materials are arriving, structures are being assembled.  This can only mean one thing.  IT’S HARROGATE SPRING FLOWER SHOW THIS MONTH!

This year’s Paxman Landscapes Harrogate Show Garden creation reflects and embraces a truly fresh start.  A truly beautiful garden interpretation of the Pantone Colour of the Year: Greenery, this year’s Paxman outdoor living extravaganza is out of the starting blocks.  Take a deep breath and inhale all that is clean, good and healthy in the natural environment.  That’s our Fresh Start garden.

Fourth Appearance

“A Fresh Start” is the boldest Harrogate Flower Show creation yet from the Paxman Landscapes team.  It marks the fourth appearance for the company at the show and follows the award-winning success of My Family 2016, APL Autumn and York Skyline 2015 and the Tropical Courtyard 2014.

The support and backing of fantastic sponsors

A landscape of a lifetime

With one of the previous winning gardens, York Sky Roof Garden, currently being reconstructed in a real garden overlooking the York city walls, Justin is keen to build a garden that can inspire and be replicated in any garden aspect.

“That’s why we love Harrogate Show – it’s our chance for a showstopper. We create our show gardens in the blink of an eye – built in a few days but creating a potential landscape of a lifetime.” – Justin Paxman, Paxman Landscapes
