RHS Tatton Park Flower Show

Nicola's garden ‘Raised by Rivers’ was awarded an RHS Silver Gilt Medal.

Nicola was the only female finalist in the RHS Young Designer of the Year competition at RHS Tatton Park Flower Show in 2018. Her garden ‘Raised by Rivers’ was inspired by fond childhood memories of growing up in the countryside and being beside water. The garden was awarded an RHS Silver Gilt Medal.

The garden captured the connection that many people have with water. Nicola was inspired by the different senses that water appeals to and how it makes us feel, from the babbling sound of moving water, to the calm, reflective surface of a lake.

It also highlighted the importance of ‘blue spaces’ for our health. Research has shown that people who live near, or spent time outdoors near water, were more active and felt that it had a positive effect on their mental health.

WHAT DO MY CLIENTS SAY 

“We selected Nicola Oakey Design having researched most of the local designers’ websites and after a short telephone conversation with those we shortlisted. What made Nicola stand out for us was that she clearly understood what we were looking for and gave us confidence that she would be able to come up with the contemporary garden design we were looking for. Once we had agreed to proceed, Nicola then produced a detailed landscaping plan and planting scheme. All the way through the design and landscaping Nicola worked with us to ensure our garden was what we wanted (not easy during lockdown). Nicola offers very professional but personal service. She made the process enjoyable and easy to understand for gardening novices. Nothing was too much trouble and she quickly replied to our sometimes daft questions. She has also helped us devise a maintenance plan for the garden so we can keep on top of it. We would recommend Nicola highly, we are totally delighted with the garden she has created for us and everyone that has seen it has said it looks amazing. We are really looking forward to seeing it grow and develop.”
