"Ed, thank you for an amazing effort. 'Top Gold' has such a great ring about it.
From a discussion in the Kent 2020 exhibition on the 2nd of April to a winning garden on the 17th July is one heck of an achievement. Thanks for your willingness to go with my crazy ideas and turn them into a built reality. Also thanks your willingness to work with other professional disciplines, particularly our colleagues in Learning Through Landscapes and our PR team at Pillory Barn Creative. It is so refreshing to work with a specialist, willing to understand the importance of the broader education objectives.
As well as achieving these Education objectives, demonstrating the potential of outside spaces for learning, you also achieved an excellence in plantsmanship, landscaping and horticulture, recognised by the judges in awarding our garden the Top Gold prize. In addition, your team was also very good at helping with the visitors to the garden especially the children and those looking for gardening advice.
Genuine thanks."
