  Thanks for the feedback Krista. I've just finished a Diploma at the Garden Design School and wanted to try Hampton Court. I spoke with Tom Hoblyn at Chelsea this year and he recommended trying the Concept Garden section as it is already sponsored. Problem is, I'm sure it's going to be way more than the £6K the sponsor is putting up! I have received the paperwork, so I can see there is a lot of hurdles to manage but I'm a hard worker and very keen. I think I might need to get more sponsors involved to make this happen.

  HI Phil, l was lucky as l won a competition run by Capel Manor/Anglian to do the show garden. As for the budget - l think Anglian spent a lot more than originally planned but again l did not have much involvement with that side of it. Not much help in that area i'm afraid but could help out with rules/regulations, planning, ordering etc. Its stressfull!!
  
  l was quite keen on doing a conceptual garden myself as i went to art college and would like to use ideas from my time there plus you're not as limited.
  
  Good luck!

  Krista - I'm thinking of doing a garden at Hampton Court in the 'Concept Garden' area. Can you give an idea of how your budget worked and how you approached sponsers etc? Any help would be great.
