Sarah Bradley has been chosen as the winner of a competition to design the French Ambassador’s Garden in Kensington Palace Gardens.  For the competition, held in  conjunction with the  Inchbald School of Design, students were asked to create an ‘entente cordiale’ garden design to reflect the essence of a French garden as seen through British eyes.

Sarah was chosen as the winner, as she was best able to combine French and English styles while taking into account the necessary practical considerations.

Andrew Duff, Director of  the Inchbald School of Garden Design, commented, ‘This is a fantastic opportunity for not only the Inchbald School of Design, but also Sarah, as it will give her a head-start in the garden design industry. This demonstrates how well thought-of the school is and the calibre of the students’ work, as we continue to be asked to work on prestigious garden design projects.’

The judging was undertaken by Susan Crewe, Editor of House & Garden, artist Nigel Cox, Michael Galsworthy DL, owner of Trwithan Garden Estate, Cornwall and Jacqueline Duncan, Principal and Founder of the Inchbald School of Design. Sarah will be working on-site for the duration of this project. The Ambassador is hoping that the project will be completed in time for his annual party in July.
