He designed a space based on the theme of a “Place to Ponder” which he recreated for judges at the arena.

He styled his entry with summer flowering plants sedum and astilbe bumalda which he says are suitable for shady conditions.

Patrick said he was “delighted” that his entry was accepted to the prestigious exhibition.

He was presented with his award by Gardeners’ World writer and presenter Mark Lane.
