There are just a few hours left now until the judging begins and as the garden designers finish tweaking their displays and wait anxiously, I took the opportunity to catch up with Sadie Stowell designer of , a first-time exhibitor who's been putting the finishing touches to her garden for a while.
"This is the first garden I've ever designed not just my first for Hampton and it's been a great experience. I feel like I've really grown as a designer and I've learnt a huge amount. It's been a real rollercoaster but I'm really pleased with the final results, it's turned out exactly how I wanted it to be.
"The planting is themed on the colours of the different fruit juices, and when I put the plants together for the first time I wasn't sure about the scheme but now it's all in the garden I really like it, it's quite bold and definitely sticks out against the other gardens. The planting features three reclaimed apple trees at the back which I rescued personally from an old orchard."
Hampton has been a great experience and the whole team have really enjoyed it. If you asked me to do it again tomorrow I definitely would"
