Adrian McGregor is an urban design, landscape and Vectorworks genius, and was a great inspiration to me when working in Sydney back in 2000. It was working with Adrian and Adam Russell, (Raw Architects) on a winning competition bid for Victoria Park in Sydney, that I became truly inspired with a clear vision for the future.

I realised that I had to set up my own business combining Architecture, Visualisation, Sales and Training . Vectorworks and ira was founded in 2000 on my return to the UK. Vectorworks has been my tool and choice and passion since MiniCAD 4, and today I love it more than ever for everything it empowers me to do.

Tonight's garden was certainly the most complex and largest garden of the series. Vectorworks was used for  the modelling in combination with Artlantis to add the plants and set up the lighting and animation before rendering with a sketchy effect. The power and flexibility of the software made the process of producing complex animations relatively straightforward.

Overall the whole experience of working with the SpunGold TV and ITV has been really enjoyable, and interesting, and it has been great to be involved in helping produce a program that has such a positive effect on the amazing families featured each week, and we hope to get involved again in any future series.
As well as a lovely reference from Philip Smith the series producer featured in last weeks blog, here what the production manager said:-

"Many thanks Jonathan. We have greatly enjoyed our association with you and the contribution you have made to the graphics of Love Your Garden. All the best"

Jim Boyers- Production Manager, Spun Gold TV Ltd

This week it’s not just the garden makeover recipients who are in for a surprise!  The team have a little trick up their sleeves which certainly raised a smile with Alan.

 It’s episode 5 of Love Your Garden, and Alan Titchmarsh and his team of experts give something back to a Falklands veteran and his wife  by transforming their barren plot into a planting paradise.

Horticultural hit TV series “Love Your Garden” returned to the airways on June 25, featuring some short visualizations designed with Vectorworks Landmark software to illustrate various design concepts. View the visualizations from the residential landscape shown in Episode 1 on the website of our UK distributorComputers Unlimited.
