Driftwood Sculptures will again be exhibiting at the RHS Chelsea
Flower Show from 25-28 May 2004. We are on Stand RM/1. |
 |
| |
This
year's display will feature a Garden Room and decking made from
reclaimed cedar logs collected from the same source as NDS'
sculptures. Alongside this will be our Sculptures, Fencing and
Paving, showing how reclaimed driftwood can be used to achieve
an unusual and striking look in the garden. |
| |
Produced
from reclaimed Western Red Cedar NDS' Driftwood Decking is a
step forward in our commitment to recycling driftwood to create
beautiful gardening materials and features. Previously we have
created fencing and paving that has a natural driftwood finish,
however this latest development sees us creating an entirely
new product processed from the same cedar driftwood as our other
products. |
| |
The
timber, produced from reclaimed first growth cedar driftwood,
is a superior timber possessing a depth of colour and closeness
of grain not present in modern day species. The timber is ideal
for use as decking or fencing. Like all NDS sculptures, the
timber also bleaches silver from exposure to sunlight, weathering
to an attractive finish requiring no preservative treatment.
As the timber is recycled it provides the sustainability sought
by gardenerws who have environmental concerns when using naturally
occurring materials. |
|
| |
NDS
are also conscious of maintaining a good standing within the
community that its collection and reclamation operation is
based. By employing local people to collect the cedar as well
as making use of the local sawmill to cut and prepare the
timber NDS are providing invaluable employment opportunities
within the small rural area of Canada from which the driftwood
is collected. |
|
| |
NDS
are hoping that their Driftwood Decking will prove a success,
as Director Magnus Harding concludes: "Our customers
are getting the very best quality seasoned timber decking and
fencing whist contributing positively to the environment. NDS
is committed to the long-term utilisation of this recycled timber
and we are delighted to be able to showcase our cedar decking
at Chelsea." |

About
Natural Driftwood Sculptures |
|
| |
Natural
Driftwood Sculptures Ltd (NDS) is a family enterprise; founded
four years ago to collect and import Western Red Cedar driftwood
sculptures and other reclaimed garden and construction products
from Western Canada. The sculptures are the remnants of the
early 20th Century lumber industry, recovered from British Columbia's
hydro-electricity reservoir lakes. They have been formed by
the effects of the elements and from drifting on the lakes'
surfaces gently rubbing against the shoreline and each other.
The company is managed in the UK by husband and wife team Magnus
and Tracey Harding. The sculptures are retailed through a national
network of stockists and distributors as well as direct via
an online and mail order catalogue. |

range of the driftwood and the areas from which it is gathered
have been included on both a thumbnail reference page and
the enclosed CD for your reference. Also included are photos
of driftwood displays and show gardens, demonstrating how
driftwood can be used imaginatively in the garden. Further
