The garden, Ace of Diamonds, celebrates the links between plants and precious stones. Many of the plants used either have gemstones in their names or have flowers reminiscent of precious stones.

As well as giving access to the patio, the path represents the loop of a chain; when viewed from above, it looks like a necklace, with the central diamond-shaped patio forming a pendant. The raised seating area provides a place to relax and enjoy a view of the garden.
 

Expert commentary by Chris Young & Phil Clayton, The Garden magazine

This is full on planting – bright and colourful compared to other Chelsea gardens. Interesting panels of photinia trained against the wall – almost pleached. Plant colours of purple and silver reflect the hard landscaping and the diamonds in the path and wall. Light reflects off the hard landscaping giving a vivid feel to the garden.
