Windows Through Time – a celebration of 100 years of Chelsea garden design
To mark the centenary of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Roger Platts is creating a garden for M&G Investments that captures the design trends and themes of Chelsea shows past and present.
Roger’s design draws on new and old garden features – from shrubs popular in the 1900s to modern plant cultivars – to show how the British approach to design has evolved over the decades, but with many recurring trends that have stood the test of time.
The classic British design of sandstone paths threading through beds of perennials and roses is complemented by nods to the past and the present. The garden highlights Roger’s flair for planting.
