BALI members invited to memorial for popular landscape designer

We are saddened to announce that Paul Hensey passed on Monday, December 1st after a short illness.  

Paul’s career began in industrial engineering and design. In 2003 his move to garden design brought with him an understanding of the built environment and a forensic view of materials. He taught Construction Design to many students in key landscape colleges and became the go-to authority on SketchUp, appointed by Trimble as a member of their International Professionals Programme. 

Paul won several awards for his own innovative designs - including RHS Gold medals at Chelsea and Hampton Court - before he focussed on construction. From 2011 he worked with designers, landscapers and architects, bringing their ideas and drawn concepts into 3D reality. Paul published several books on construction with monthly articles appearing in the Garden Design Journal. The formation of HEAP in 2024 will continue to provide an invaluable on-line resource for students and professionals.
