Michael Lote

A local landscape architect has won the gold garden design award at the RHS Malvern Flower Show.

Michael Lote, of MJL Gardens, received the accolade after using recycled and sustainable materials in his design called It Doesn’t Have To Cost The Earth.

His interest in garden layout began when he built a water feature for his grandmother as a youngster before then going on to study landscape architecture at Leeds Metropolitan University.
