'The Lavender Garden'

RHS Hampton Court Flower Show' The Lavender Garden’

Gold Medal winning garden, 2016

Concept and Inspiration

"The Lavender Garden," a captivating exhibit at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show 2016, won a Gold Medal for its enchanting design. Inspired by a flourishing lavender farm on the South Downs, the garden's theme celebrated the farm’s evolution from a dairy farm to a haven for lavender cultivation. This transformation highlighted the resilience of nature and the adaptability of land usage in response to market changes.

Visitor Experience

Central to The Lavender Garden was the conversion of an old feed store into a quaint shop selling lavender products. This space, coupled with a thoughtfully designed seating area, invited visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty and tranquility of the lavender fields. The garden was a sensory delight, buzzing with wildlife and offering a serene escape, allowing visitors to fully absorb the enchanting views and scent of lavender.

Design Elements

The Lavender Garden artfully integrated elements from the farm's history. Overturned milk churns and a trough set in rough grass symbolised its past as a dairy farm. The primary focus, however, was on the present: the cultivation of lavender for its essential oil. Known for its soothing fragrance and calming properties, lavender was the heart of this garden, creating a tranquil and aromatic environment.
