Among the most colourful garden displays at this year's RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park is the stunning Big Picture Garden. Derbyshire designer Sophie Godber created the spectacular display using as many sustainable items as she could.

Sophie, 52, from Tidesewell, won a Silver Gilt Medal for her terrace garden featured at the floral extravaganza, which runs across the weekend at the Cheshire parkland.
