@ The Chelsea Flower Show 2006 |
| View
a stumpery constructed using our driftwood |
A
stunning garden at the Chelsea Flower Show 2006 designed by
Marney Hall featured a stumpery built by Philip Game using
our driftwood. The Garden of Dreams, sponsored by 4head, "has
been designed as a natural haven of peace, inviting visitors
to journey from the stressful world of conscousness to an
altogether more alluring destination, idealised in dreams
..." |
There
is a beautifully designed website, giving information on the
design, the planting and the design team. |
| Uniquely
three real-time web cams positioned in different areas of
the garden gave online viewers a chance to spend time in the
garden without leaving their home ... and the bird song on
the web site is immediately evocative of the spring. |

in The Times, 28 April 2001
The Times Gardener section by Stephen Anderton featured
a brief review of our display at the London Garden Show. Stephen
was particularly taken by our show stand which: "had
a line of 5-6.5ft driftwood dolmens set up like a fence or
screen. Very Derek Jarman. That’s the way to use it,
with a purpose".
