current Student Member of the SGD or have progressed to Pre-Registered Member status

Question: Does the Garden have to have been built?

Answer: No

Question: Can I clarify the requirements for the student awards?
1. I take it any size garden or brief is acceptable?
2. There's no mention of a planting plan - but presumably this is essential among the 3
additional documents?
3. I take it construction drawings aren't mandatory?
4. Is a concept board admissible among the additional documents?

Answer: We want to see what you can do. So there is no brief, no size, no limits. The key issue for
the supporting documents is clarity. The judges are looking for clearly and concisely
presented information. It is up to you to chose the supporting 3 documents that you
consider you need to submit to explain your scheme. This might include; a planting plan,
construction detailing, perspectives, isometrics – but there is no prescriptive list . A
concept board is admissible. Remember everything should be on your disk.

Question: I am intending to forward the 4 elements listed below:
X1 Presentation plan, X1 sheet of construction drawings,
X2 elevations (showing x2 completely different areas of the garden)
However, could a mood board, giving a flavour of the planting, replace one of the
elevations? Or would I need a more accurate planting plan?
