Daily Telegraph Garden

RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2008

The theme is simplicity and the garden was inspired by the purity and restraint found in Japanese gardens. A stone edged, rectangular pool of water fills the space of the garden, and is softened by planting on two sides. The pool is punctuated by sculptural rocks, half submerged in the pool, and four trees that frame the views and lend a sense of permanence to the garden, and a sense of age and height to the composition.
