The CBMS is open to amateur, trainee and semi-professional landscapers and the finalists, who come from a variety of professional backgrounds, all share the same passion for landscape garden design. Their gardens, inspired by the theme of ‘Circus’, will feature materials from Bradstone’s paving, decorative aggregates, walling, edging, block paving and accessories ranges. The gardens demonstrate the range and versatility of Bradstone’s products, as well as a range of innovative planting techniques. Bradstone’s log stepping stones in ‘Inside Out’ enable visitors to enjoy the delights of the circus from within, while stone circles made from Antique Natural Sandstone and Polished Natural Sandstone Paving in ‘Bravura’ emulate the historic tradition of having three show circles within the big top. All of the finalists’ gardens will be assessed by a panel comprising Chris Beardshaw, Biddy Bolsover from Bradstone, an Aggregate Industries business, and a representative from Malvern’s partner the Royal Horticultural Society. Chris Beardshaw said: “The Chris Beardshaw Mentoring Scholarship is a unique vocational scheme, which aims to raise the profile of the landscape design industry and highlight just what it takes to become a professional landscape gardener. Now in its third year, the scheme offers the winning scholar the chance to work alongside me, receive invaluable business advice and technical support from Bradstone and gain work experience with nurseries and design contractors. “All the potential scholars at Malvern this year will have benefitted from the experience so far, but for the chosen winner it will mark the start of a great year, providing an excellent springboard for their future design career.” Group chief executive of Aggregate Industries Bill Bolsover said: “We are always keen to support new talent in the landscape gardening industry and champion cutting edge design, which is why the Chris Beardshaw Mentoring Scholarship is an important partnership for Bradstone. “The Malvern Spring Gardening Show provides an opportunity for us to showcase a range of innovative and sustainable products, which can help landscapers transform a garden quickly and easily, as well as meeting the growing demand from customers for responsibly sourced products.” The Chris Beardshaw finalists can be found in the Show Gardens Arena at the Malvern Spring Gardening Show.

Paul has spent the last twelve months being mentored by Chris in addition to receiving business advice and technical support from Bradstone. His year culminates in the Bradstone Biodiversity Garden, which Paul will create with Chris and his team at the Chelsea Flower Show, using Bradstone materials. Bespoke reconstituted stone bird roosting blocks, an Enviromasonry trough and York Stone Ecopave will complement the richly planted borders of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. Chris Beardshaw said: “I am passionate about raising the profile of the landscape design industry and the hard work and dedication it takes to become a professional landscape gardener, which was my inspiration for developing the scholarship. Paul has been an excellent scholar and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with him over the last year. The Bradstone Biodiversity Garden will mark the culmination of a tremendous year for Paul and I hope it will be a springboard for his future design career.” Group chief executive of Aggregate Industries Bill Bolsover said: “We are always keen to encourage new blood into the industry to drive forward innovation and creativity. As well as seeing cutting edge design in the Bradstone Biodiversity Garden, landscape gardeners will also have the chance to find out more about our responsibly sourced range which leads the way in sustainability.” Aggregate Industries, Bradstone’s parent company, is at the forefront of developments to increase sustainability of garden landscaping materials. It is the first company in the world to achieve the BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing Certificate from BRE Global. Visitors can find the Bradstone Biodiversity Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show at stand RHW35.
