We are
delighted to announce that, for the second year running, David Keegan Garden
Design & Landscape Consultancy have won ‘Best Garden Designer 2011’ in the
Northern Design Awards.
David said
“It was a particular honour to receive the award this year especially given the
very high standards of the other entries and the prestigious panel of Judges
which included such industry luminaries as Sir Terence Conran, Diarmuid Gavin
and Wayne Hemmingway.
David was
presented with his award by one of the judges, the celebrity garden designer
and TV personality Diarmuid Gavin.
He received
the award for his design project, Thornlea farm which is set in the High Peaks in Derbyshire in a class-4
area of outstanding natural beauty.
Keegan’s
design relied heavily on the sympathetic use of reclaimed local materials and a
garden shed with a green sedum roof lending itself easily to the principles of
a low impact and an environmentally friendly project.
He also went
on to say how valuable it is to have such a prestigious event focusing on and
recognising the talents of designers beyond the Watford Gap.
Special
thanks for the event go to all the team at The
Northern Design Awards who arranged the spectacular awards evening at the Lowry
Hotel, Manchester, the event kicking off with a
stunningly choreographed dance and light show.
The event
was so well staged from beginning to end with winning this prestigious award
being the icing on the cake.

Why GM is bad for you
Anyone who believes the science and technology behind GM is a good thing really should read this!! GM is basically about a small group of companies trying to control the world food market. Needless to say it is the very poorest countries who WILL not benefit from this technology.
