Designer gardens


One of the primary features at Future Gardens are 12 ground-breaking show gardens created by some well-known gardening names such as Andy Sturgeon, Tony Heywood and Fiona Heron, as well as some lesser known, up-and-coming designers. Pictured here is my favourite, entitled "Release Garden", by Michelle Wake and Chloe Leaper. The garden is inspired by the music of Wagner where visitors enter through an area of tension (above) made up of tightly woven tree structures before spilling out into a tranquil space with reflective pool.
Not sure I saw it that way - because I walked in the other entrance. I flet it was more like our own gardens, where we have the bits that we tend lovingly and that one patch down at the bottom where nature does its own thing...
