Ben Harrison on The Lounge Garden, Grand Designs Live 2014

After experiencing Ben Harrison’s entry into Grand Designs Live Garden Designer of the Year first hand at my last visit to the show in 2013, I was looking forward to seeing his contribution to this year’s London 2014 exhibition. The competition has fast become my favourite element of Grand Designs Live, and as expected, Ben’s garden didn’t disappoint.

Welcomed by a wealth of orange, from whatsapp number list vibrant florals to clean, modern decking, ‘The Lounge Garden‘ was a bright delight, ready for summer. But aesthetics aside, what makes this garden special is the clever design which leaves it perfect for living in. After the show I had a chat with Ben, of BH Designs, to discuss his garden creation. lg91
