""The garden design allows it to be retained throughout a lifetime and adapted to suit the changing requirements of a family as it develops".
""Geoff's design also included sustainability aspects by only using UK-sourced plants and a strong mix of flowers, shrubs, fruit, vegetables and culinary herbs to encourage people to consider ways in which they can reduce their impact on the environment and reliance on imported foods, even if in a small way".
"These are the themes that are capturing everyone's imagination," added Zack.
Geoff Whiten said: "With the increasing desire to protect the world we live in, the Real Life by Brett garden identifies things that people can start to do today".
Brett Landscaping and Building Products has also used a concept concrete product in its stunning show garden.
The product, which is similar in style to Brett's current premium concrete flag, Westminster, is the main paving featured in the Real Life by Brett garden and it is complemented by products from Brett's Westminster range, including walling, and the Olde English brick range.
Zack Barrett added: "We believe there is a growing need in the market for an improved alternative to natural stone, but with the same distinctive aesthetics and premium feel".
"With technology continually improving, we believe this concept proves that concrete products will soon be providing an alternative choice that addresses people's concerns over current concrete products, by providing a more realistic alternative with additional environmental and health and safety benefits." Brett manufacturers and supplies a range of hard landscaping and paving products for gardens, driveways and High Streets across the UK.
It is part of the Brett Group, the largest independently-owned construction and building materials group in Britain.
