Tanya Batkin from Knightwick near Worcester will compete for the second consecutive year in the Gardening World Cup in Japan, the Worcester News reported on 19 September. She will be joined by two other British contestants, one of whom, Adam Frost, has won Gardeners’ World Live and several RHS Chelsea Flower Show awards.
For this year’s event, Batkin will create a “balcony garden” inspired by Aberglasney in Wales. Last year, she made a cottage-style garden.
The event is expected to attract more than 80,000 visitors during October.
