RHS Chelsea People’s Choice Garden of the Decade 2020
Garden Design News
Delighted that The Arthritis Research UK garden 2012 was nominated for the 2020 RHS Chelsea People’s Choice Garden of the Decade.
The garden was designed to capture the drama, formality and beauty of the Renaissance gardens. Inspired by the gardens at Villa Lante and Villa d’Este, this garden stripped away the flamboyance to reveal a simpler, more minimalist design.
The garden explores the Renaissance obsession of order and man controlling nature by taming waterflow in amazing waterfall and cascades. The three water features in the garden replicate and emphasize the ingenious and technical skill employed during this period. Linking throughout the garden – the long fountain seat set against a backdrop of 30 powerful jets, a water cascade and a shallow mirror pool with an infinity edge – all are powered by gravity and hydrostatic power.
