News: Inspired Lee recognised for grand design
Rotherham gardening expert, Lee Bestall has been named as the winner of Grand Designs Garden Designer of The Year Award 2012 for his creation, "Cloud Nine."
The inaugural competition was held at the recent Grand Designs Live event in Birmingham and saw the concepts of three chosen finalists brought to life in display gardens over the three days.
Each garden was inspired by the Grand Designs ethos which includes contemporary style, inspiration, and ethical and environmental responsibility.
Lee's garden design was an impressive, contemporary and low maintenance rooftop garden for relaxing after work. It incorporated modern gadgets which complimented those in the adjoining penthouse. The garden was designed for a single, young professional and is seen as a place to relax and unwind after work whilst taking in views over the city skyline.
The garden featured a hot tub, sheltered by the partially open Cedar wood structure with the lighting, music, and even the shower, all controlled via an iPad.
Enterprising Lee, who grew up in Aston and studied at Sheffield Hallam University, was working in recruitment when he earned the chance to turn his love of gardening into a career with invaluable training from gardening expert, Diarmuid Gavin as part of a BBC series.
The local business, Inspired Garden Design has gone from strength to strength with Lee receiving industry awards including a silver medal at Tatton Park Flower Show 2005 and a bronze medal at Gardeners' World Live 2006.
Lee hopes that the latest award will boost his business. He said: "I still can't believe I won the Grand Designs garden designer of the year award.
"I plan to further develop my portfolio of corporate and private gardens, as well as working on community projects.
"I really enjoy developing productive working relationships with new clients and delivering gardens which not only exceed people's expectations, but change the way they live their outdoor lives."
