Created by first-time Chelsea designer Will Quarmby, this garden celebrates the 100 year history of the iconic stationery brand.
The design features a faithful reproduction of the Basildon Bond clock mounted on weathered cladding representing the Mill Manager’s cottage at Apsley Mill. The striking walls are decorated with waterproof paper, leading the eye over a stream through to a seating area where you can imagine yourself penning letters to friends, family or a lover. An Acer griseum or paperbark maple with its shiny orange-red bark peeling in thin papery layers is positioned in the centre of the garden, mirroring the paper wall.
