Tom​ says: “The show is such a prestigious event and it is a professional aspiration to exhibit. The exposure for any aspiring designer is immense and also provides a great platform to highlight the message of my sponsor.”

Tom’s tips to designing a balcony garden:

  • Don’t be afraid of adding larger planters or planting to create scale.
  • Give the space a clear and cohesive scheme.
  • Use soft edges or curves to create space and fluidity in the design.
