‘Landscape Man’ to Attend BALI National Landscape Awards 2009

The British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) are pleased to announce the star of Channel 4’s latest landscaping and gardening show will be in attendance at the BALI National Landscape Awards 2009. Matthew Wilson who is presenting the Channel 4 show will be attending the awards on the 4th December at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London alongside his wife and a representative from the shows production company Red House TV.

The shows creators Red House are currently looking for projects to star in the show, and will be taking the time to speak to contractors, designers and clients at the BALI National Landscape Awards 2009 about any up and coming projects which could possibly fit the shows brief.

Landscape Man, which is produced by the creator of Grand Designs, is set to be a major primetime series following the design and creation of highly ambitious and beautiful new private gardens, and the inspirational people driving them, over the course of a year. The series is a celebration of people and their passion for Nature, and a realistic portrayal of what is involved in creating truly stunning landscaped gardens.  The series will set a new benchmark for this area and show people with ideas and passions and visions that go far and away beyond anything we normally associate with gardening on TV.

Matthew Wilson commented:
"We are pleased to be attending the awards because it will be a fantastic opportunity to meet some of the finest talent within the industry and discover first hand what is happening around the UK. We are looking for real projects to follow that are epic, conceived and paid for by people with design ambition, imagination and determination, who will take us on their adventures as they strive to create truly beautiful, big and outstanding garden designs. “

Each programme will follow the nitty-gritty of one large-scale project across the seasons, from autumn earthworks to spring seeding to the reveals in late summer next year.  As documentary, they will follow the processes and problems through the eyes of gardeners, builders, and designers.  But the central characters will be the owners, whose stories are the heart of the programmes.

BALI Chief Executive Sandra Loton Jones commented:
‘I am extremely pleased both Matthew Wilson and the Landscape Man team have chosen to attend the awards, it will be a great opportunity for them to experience some of the amazing projects undertaken by BALI members. It will also be a great chance for anyone in attendance at the awards to meet with the creators of the show and possibly have one of their future projects chosen for Landscape Man – which is set to be an unparalleled showcase for landscaping talent into the public eye.’
