Christine Wilkie is one of four battling it out in the Grand Designs Live competition
A garden designer from Wembley is celebrating after reaching the finals of a prestigious competition.
Christine Wilkie is one of four finalists in the Grand Designs Live competition.
The contest, which is based on the Channel 4 TV series aims to find winners across a range of categories including garden design and home improvement.
Ms Wilkie, who lives in Norval Road, has been shortlisted for her garden design creation which will now be judged by a panel including host of the TV show Kevin Mcleod at the Excell Arena in May.
The 52-year-old, who only took up the hobby in 2008, told the Times: “I’m really delighted to have been selected it’s a huge honour.”
The design, called Glow, had to meet Grand Designs’ ethos of contemporary, inspirational, ethical/environmental.
Grand Designs Live London takes place at the Excel in Docklands, from May 4 to 12.
If Ms Wilkie is crowned the winner she will claim the title of garden designer of the year.
