The Gardener's Plot
Every garden that multiple award-winner Chris Beardshaw designs tells a story. By Rachel Loi
WHEN you were four years old, what did you want to be when you grew up? A superhero? An astronaut? A fireman? For Chris Beardshaw, his dream has always been to work with plants. And fortunately, that's exactly what he ended up doing as a career.
"I can't remember ever wanting to do anything else with my life," says the 45-year-old UK national.
It's a good thing he turned out to have green fingers, and made a name for himself as a garden designer, clinching over 20 awards in the last 14 years. This includes the Gold and People's Choice Award at the 2013 Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show.
