This garden is based upon a section of a river in a rural location in Thailand. It is designed as a

showcase for plants from Thailand as well as focusing on a way of life away from the cities.

Visitors to the garden will be able to cross the river into a lush garden and pass by an accurate

recreation of a Thai Sala.

This Thai Sala is located on the opposite side of the river with steps down to the waters edge.

This serves as a shelter from the rain and the sun and becomes somewhere to rest and

contemplate away from the house. The steps to the water allow the house owner to leave daily

offerings to passing Buddhist Monks along the river.

The water is a recreation of a river edge in Thailand; it will be circulating and will hold some

sediment in the water.

The ‘A Matter of Urgency’ garden has been designed to raise awareness of overactive bladder

(OAB), a condition that affects nearly 1 in 5 people in the UK over 40. OAB is a sudden

compelling need to relieve the bladder, which is difficult to put off.

As an echo of the frustration and urgency of OAB, a long and winding hardwood path, with steps

inset with glittering glass tiles, leads slowly to a giant pink tap at the centre that appears

magically suspended in mid-air, pouring water into a square central pool with seating on three

sides. A straight hardwood path out of the garden symbolises taking action to help alleviate the

condition. The paths lead through a variety of soft and spiky textures, where vivid shades of pink

are highlighted with muted blues and silvers.

Designer Jill Foxley has exhibited in two previous Hampton Court Palace Flower Shows and has

won both a Bronze and Gold medal as well as a People’s Choice award.

The purpose of this garden is to represent the oriental concept of nature. The theme of the garden

is ‘Mechanism of the Mind’ and it is systematically constructed by the mind and the root of

unhappiness – ‘earthly desires’. By comprehending the ‘Mechanism of the Mind’ we are able to

quell ‘earthly desires’ - this is the oriental concept of unifying with nature.

The pond represents the inner and outer mind; both sides have ‘earthly desires’ and these are

represented by different growths of trees, sprouts and seeds. People can walk through from the

outer mind to the inner mind.

Louvers are built in the circle inside the pond, these represent the trees of earthly desires. Words

describing these desires are fixed upside down on the Louvers and the words can only be read

from the reflection on the pond.

The garden has five view points to make the viewer comprehend the ‘Mechanism of the Mind’

and people are guided to unify with nature:

• The ‘restricted mind world’ – this is represented by the restricted view towards the inner circle

by the louvers.

• No recognition of ‘earthly desires’ – the words of earthly desires can be read in the inner circle.

• The ‘separation of the mind, earthly and egocentric – a 360 degree view from the centre of the

inner circle.

• ‘Unifying with nature’ – the opening view towards the evanescence tree represents the

evanescence of life.

Up to the end of 2009 a total of 179 British soldiers were killed in Iraq and 246 killed in

Afghanistan, of those 246 no less than 108 were killed in 2009. With so many troops dying and

wounded in the ‘war’ devised by Bush, Blair, Brown and Barack this garden is a moving and

moveable memorial to them. It comprises four L-shaped walls in the formation of a crucifix.

These walls consist of a series of gabion cages in-filled with loosely arranged construction blocks

and blood red debris-filled bags.

Two olive trees are used to symbolise peace as well as being able to cope with the conditions of

the hot, dry environment. The memorial is designed for personal interaction and can be entered

through both its central and lateral axes. The narrow entrance pathways make progress measured.

A central sculptural piece adds a focal point and completes the design. The structure is designed

to be erected, or conversely, disassembled in less than a day by a small team of people, either

military or civilian.

Adelaide Community Garden Club

“Bangladeshi Allotment” Exhibitor Type: Sustainable Garden

Site number: B/9

Adelaide Community Garden Club (ACGC) was created in London over 20 years ago to reduce

suicide rates in adjoining tower blocks. 15% of current plot holders originate from Bangladesh

and they intensively cultivate unusual vegetables on their plots which are usually visually striking

and distinctive. These are grown in raised beds as the Community Garden is sited on an old

tarmac car park.

The garden is an Adelaide Community Garden Club Bangladeshi allotment in the form of a

formal potager. It shows vegetables and horticulture strange to English eyes. An herb parterre,

within an outdoor room, is screened by strange beans and giant rambling gourds.

Page 4: 2010 Hampton Court Palace Flower Show exhibitors from ...perigordvacance.typepad.com/files/hamptoncourtexhibitors-1.pdf · 2010 Hampton Court Palace Flower Show exhibitors from Greater

The garden ironically juxtaposes sustainable Bangladeshi subsistence horticulture with wasteful

unproductive Western formal landscaping. Although the garden will be based on Bangladeshi

horticulture, all the Bangladeshi plants grow happily in the United Kingdom at the ACGC garden.

The garden is a microcosm of Louis XIV’s ‘Potager du Roi’ – the origin of scientific horticulture

– and is a perfect quadrille. Laugier’s iconic Hut (man’s first house) is replicated in living willow

in one quarter creating a picturesque view. Laugier called for a rethink of degenerate, wasteful

design forms.

The design adopts Laugier’s principles of garden ornament. Particularly he advocates subjecting

Versaille’s outdoor rooms to foreign (eastern) influence. Thus, ironically, the folly of formal

landscape style is subjected to Bangladeshi subsistence horticulture – where everything is edible

and recycled. Laugier’s Hut becomes a ‘dougie house’. Exotic vegetables grow on a matrix of

junk and urban detritus.

The garden is entirely prefabricated using 900mm square industrial pallets and waste - costing

almost nothing.

This contemporary garden is a vision of strength and lightness at the same time, offering

ecological and elegant space for entertaining and relaxation.

The centrepiece of the garden is a modern gazebo, constructed with absolutely new sustainable

technology called D-shape, which allows creating recycled artificial stone indistinguishable from

the real stone with the bonus of it being 100% environmentally friendly. High and soft clumps of

grasses and neutral coloured perennials surround and complement the structure.

The garden celebrates the reunion of millions of grains of rock sand, which after being separated

for a long time finally end, gathering together as they used to when they were forming the

original natural stone.

Last year the designers presented a garden at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show and were

was awarded an RHS Gold Medal and Best Conceptual Garden Award.

Dave Green - an amateur grower - is displaying indigenous flora from South America, many of

which are rare and unusual plants, with a focus on the Fuchsia species that grows in the Andes.

After visiting Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, Dave collected some 34 species in the wild,

brought in 17 new cultivations and 2 new to science: Fuchsia Subparamosa and Fuchsia

Aquaviridis.

Additionally there will be a waterfall within the exhibit as the display is laid out to represent the

features of South America.

Address: London Road, Attleborough, Norfolk, NR17 1AY

Peter Beales Roses have been regular exhibitors at the Chelsea, Gardeners World and Hampton

Court Flower shows since early 1970

This year will feature a display of climbing and rambling roses placed upon arches and obelisks

to show how an established plant would naturally look, along with a collection of the timeless

shrub roses.

The exhibit will include many of the old fashioned roses dating back from as early as the 13th

century coming through the ages right up to date to include our two new introductions to be

launched at the show.

Two roses are due to be launched at the show:

Rosa ‘Togmeister’ (Floribunda)

Page 6: 2010 Hampton Court Palace Flower Show exhibitors from ...perigordvacance.typepad.com/files/hamptoncourtexhibitors-1.pdf · 2010 Hampton Court Palace Flower Show exhibitors from Greater

Peter Beales Roses are pleased to introduce this rose for one of Radio and Television’s best loved

presenters, Sir Terry Wogan and for his many fans, who dubbed him “Togmeister”. It is a

delightful fragrant, bright yellow rose which flowers continuously all summer. Its foliage is

healthy, glossy and plentiful. As a bush it is of tidy growth disposition and easy to manage. Good

grown in groups of three. Size: 75cmx75cms.

Rosa ‘Francis Copple’ (Modern Shrub)

A lovely semi-double rose of coppery yellow paling to primrose yellow as the flower ages. Very

free flowering throughout the summer. Fragrant. Foliage large and glossy. This rose is a true

delight, planted in small groups or even used as a short hedge. If the late summer flowers are not

deadheaded, it will produce a good crop of oval shaped orange hips.

This rose owes its name to Francis Copples’ daughter, Leslie who left funds in her will when she

passed away, to have a rose named for her father. Francis was a Metropolitan Policeman for most

of his life and loved roses. We are delighted to have obliged the family with this delightful shrub

rose. Size: 1.5mx75cm
