The Daily Telegraph Garden
designed by Sarah Price
London Olympic Park 2012 Gardens designer Sarah Price brought the natural beauty and contemplative setting of the British countryside to central London in her third RHS Chelsea Show Garden.
The garden was adorned with atmospheric planting and natural stone, encouraging thoughtful connections with the natural world. It evoked the beauty and romance of wild places in the British landscape with perennials, rushes, grasses and meadow flowers growing around an intricate pattern of pools in Chilmark limestone.
Copper detailing drew inspiration from the mineral rich upland streams and rills of north Wales and Dartmoor, while a stepping-stone walkway led across an expanse of water to a simple seating area on a group of boulders.
At the rear of the garden a glade of tall, graceful, multi- stemmed birch trees framed the scene.
