RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2015: 5 more inspiring show gardens

May 20, 2015 By Rachel Newcombe 2 Comments

The trouble with the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is that there are so many gorgeous gardens and ideas. Here are five more that have caught our eye this year.

 1. Royal Bank of Canada garden

We couldn’t help but be blown away by the use of curves in this garden design, as they feature heavily. It looks like a design that could easily be translated into a back garden (or elements of it at least) and we love the mix of planting, mixing edible plants alongside flowers and bushes. The decked area is particularly appealing and we’d happily go and try out those seats.

Matthew Wilson designed this garden for the Royal Bank of Canada and it was built by Clifton Nurseries. It won a silver-gilt medal.

2. The Cloudy Bay garden in association with Vital Earth

 

A garden inspired by wine! Harry and David Rich have taken the tasting notes and characteristics of two of Cloudy Bay’s popular wines – a Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc – as inspiration for this garden.

We’re attracted by the design and construction of the boundaries and walls – mixing modern with old skills – and the fact that the planting is very natural.

There’s even a rather fun moveable shack!

This is definitely a garden we’d like to spend time in (and perhaps drinking wine in too!). It was built by Rich Landscapes and Big Fish Landscapes and sponsored by Cloudy Bay and Bord na Mona. It won a gold medal.

3. The Beauty of Islam garden with Al Barari Firm Management LLC

This garden is beautifully designed and we love both the concept, design and architecture. It was designed by Kamelia Bin Zaal and built by The Outdoor Room.

It’s a garden that acts as a sanctuary, somewhere to relax and unwind, and includes poetry, calligraphy and textures reflecting Arabic and Islamic cultures. The white stonework contrasts perfectly with the lush green planting. It’s won a silver gilt medal.

4. The Morgan Stanley Healthy Cities garden

Designed by Chris Beardshaw and built by Keith Chapman Landscapes, this garden is designed to represent Morgan Stanley’s global Healthy Cities initiative.

The paths, hedges and walls represent the infrastructure of a community. whilst the wide array of plants and colours symbolise the social elements of a community. We love the planting – what a lovely selection of blues and purples!

At the end of the show, this garden is being transferred to a new community project in East London – lucky them! It’s won a gold medal.

5. A Perfumer’s Garden in Grasse by L’Occitane

Oh my, we just want to head off down that garden path and explore!

This one is designed by James Basson, built by Peter Dowle and sponsored by L’Occitane. It’s quaint and traditional, reflecting the historic nature of the perfume industry in Grasse, where many traditional plantations had become overgrown.

We bet it smells divine! It’s won a gold medal.
