Renowned Garden designer Pip Probert to speak at APL Awards 2025

20 November 2024

The Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) has announced that multi-award-winning garden designer Pip Probert, will speak at the APL Awards 2025. This highly anticipated awards ceremony will take place on Friday, 14 March 2025, at The Brewery, 52 Chiswell Street, London, EC1Y 4SA.

Pip Probert, whose journey into garden design began in childhood, is known for blending artistic inspiration with natural landscapes. She has designed and worked on more than 40 Show Gardens at various RHS Events, BBC Gardeners World, Gardening Scotland, Ascot Spring Show, and even a few international events like the Besiktas Flower Show and the Horticultural Expo Beijing. She is also currently an assessor for both Gardener’s World and BBC 2’s Your Garden Made Perfect.

Reflecting on her passion, Pip Probert shared:

“Visiting gardens was a cherished family activity from an early age, made all the more special by our time spent outdoors. My love of art played a central role—I started with detailed flower sketches and paintings of gardens we visited, and my hobby soon became a career aspiration. Now, over 20 years later, my enthusiasm for garden design remains as strong as ever.”

Looking ahead to the ceremony, APL’s General Manager, Phil Tremayne commented:

“It’s wonderful to have Pip speaking at this year’s APL Awards. As a long-time landscaper with Outerspaces Design ltd, which has produced multi award-winning designs, her expertise and dedication to the industry will be inspirational for so many attending the day. I can’t wait to hear what she has to say.” 

The APL Awards 2025 ceremony will celebrate outstanding achievements in the UK Landscaping industry and spotlight the talented professionals who bring creative vision and skill to gardens across the UK. The finalists, announced in October, will be recognised for their dedication to excellence, with winners revealed during the awards ceremony.
