In Welcome to Yorkshire’s Rhubarb Crumble & Custard Garden a mouthwatering bowl of Yorkshire rhubarb takes pride of place centre stage. Yellow sedum symbolises a generous serving of overflowing custard, and crumble is represented by a traditional dry stone wall which completes the picture. A Yorkshire handcrafted oak spoon doubles a garden chair on the York stone patio. Rhubarb forcing pots create focal points throughout the garden, and the planting becomes more wild and agricultural as you move through the space.

This garden is relaxing, informal and charming. It uses traditional and natural materials to celebrate Yorkshire produce, craftsmanship and its famous landscape.
 

Expert commentary by Chris Young, The Garden

When you’re designing to have a bit of fun, you really have to go for it and not be afraid of using bright colours or materials. The rhubarb and custard mix in the blue bath in the centre of the space are really quite dominant, but they add a humorous touch and really get the message across.
