Stunning Show Garden Completed for Charles Church

The GS team was proud to attend the launch of the new Charles Church show complex in Burbage, which includes a stunning show garden we designed.

On Friday 31 January, Charles Church’s sales and senior management teams invited aspiring house hunters and suppliers to join them to celebrate the official opening of The Lodge @ Sketchley Park.

Part of the event involved the unveiling of the show garden, which we designed with a range of beautiful features and materials to inspire potential purchasers.

“Our original brief was to include secluded sunken seating, an area for dining, and an outdoor kitchen,” explains our director, Claire Hibbert. “We achieved this by creating various ‘zones’ within the garden, which also enabled us to make the most of the outdoor space. We then added features to appeal to children, couples and families, ensuring room for different activities and hobbies, from grilling and entertaining to playing, gardening and relaxing. To see house hunters interact with these spaces and hear such amazing reactions at the launch was a wonderful occasion.”

Our design for the show garden includes all the elements from Charles Church’s original brief alongside a child’s play swing and striking pergola. Our signature porcelain paving and cladding make a sleek statement while finer details such as graphite decking, rumbled concrete edging and decorative lighting bring the whole design to life.

Nadine O’Dowd, director of sales & marketing at Charles Church said: “The positive feedback we’ve received about our show garden has been incredible. Not only have our purchasers enjoyed discovering all the different areas but our whole team has been extremely complimentary, with some even visiting the development specifically to take a look! Garden Sense’s attention to detail, product knowledge and design flair has given us a show garden that really stands out. I look forward to our next creative collaboration together.”

The completion of the show garden also marks the start of a new partnership between GS and Charles Church. All purchasers at The Lodge will be given the option to upgrade their garden to one of three packages we have pre-designed. Our Silver, Gold & Platinum options each have a distinct layout and can be entirely customised with materials, features and lighting to allow purchasers to create their dream garden. The Lodge sales office has full details or enquiries can be submitted here.

Our partners at Ingenuity Gardens assisted with the landscaping of The Lodge show garden and we would like to thank them for delivering an excellent service despite the challenging weather conditions!
