The garden depicts the final stage of the Tour De France, Stage 21, and the chaotic sprint finish along the Champs-Élysées. Beneath the trees of this famous French boulevard, gravel leads to the winner’s podium and an Arc de Triomphe-inspired trellis/gateway.
Riders at the back of the field are represented by the massed evergreen and deciduous planting. The undulating ground echoes the movement of the cycling pack, and individual riders represented by the low evergreen hedge twist and weave as they sprint towards the Arc de Triomphe. Three riders head away from the pack -but who will win?
