    Part B -  Cultivating Talent
     Garden Design Brief      

  • Design Brief Information

    To enable your garden to be constructed, and subsequently to be assessed and judged, you are required to produce a written brief.  This will be used by the Garden Advisory Group (GAG) during the development of their responses to your exhibit and will also be used as the basis of the judging process.


    The brief should describe and embody:

    • The design intention including concepts
    • The purpose and function of the garden*
    • The assumptions made about the site and its situation
    • The reasons for the inclusion of the garden’s important elements including information on plants and materials and their design use

    Note: For Concept Gardens it is the theme or concept that must be communicated, as function may play a secondary role here.  Moreover, Concept Gardens do not need to be functional.

     

  • Design Brief Information

    It is important to complete the below sections to allow the Garden Advisory Group (GAG) to review the application.

  • REQUIRED: Please complete 1A (Show Garden) or 1B (Concept Show Garden)
