The Folklorians Garden by Kate Patrick.
Garradh Landscape & Design were delighted to be involved in the hard landscaping build elements for The Folklorians Garden, designed by Kate Patrick for BBC Gardeners’ World Live 2026.
Setting the Framework.
Working closely to Kate’s design, our team assisted with the setting out and construction of the corten steel framework, helping define the garden’s strong architectural shape. We also installed the arches, ready for the willow elements to be added, creating a sense of movement and enclosure within the space.
Crafting the Landscape.
One of the more intricate elements of the build was the installation of the setts, including curved cuts and detailing to suit the flowing design. Once laid, the setts were compacted and pointed with self-binding gravel, helping create a natural, permeable and characterful finish.
Delivering the Vision.
Show gardens require precision, adaptability and teamwork, often within very tight timeframes. It was a pleasure to play a part in bringing Kate’s vision to life and to contribute to such a creative and memorable garden at one of the UK’s leading gardening events.
Garradh Landscape & Design are proud to support designers with high-quality hard landscaping, construction expertise and attention to detail across show gardens, private gardens and designer-led projects throughout Scotland and beyond.
