The Future Gardens visitor centre opened its doors today for us media folks and assorted dignataries and celebs. Phase 1 of this pioneering conservation project at the £27m, 27-acre site at Chiswell Green, St Albans, is open to the public from June to October. It has been laid out in the shape of a giant butterfly, the various attractions making up the parts of the insect. Ivan Hicks, the chief landscaper, has very much stamped his mark on the overall design, among the features a giant flowerpot garden (see above) and beehive-shaped restrooms (below). It kinda reminded me of the Flowerpot Men - that's a good memory...
