With its thought-provoking, sculptural design this garden is based on the concept of a dull monochromatic landscape that is gradually transformed into a colourful display of flowering plants by a powerful energy source.
This energy emanates from the earth and is carried around the garden through coloured energy strands. As they touch the monochromatic plants they metamorphose into bright yellow, orange or green, creating a garden of dramatic colour contrasts.
Mirror balls become green box (Buxus) balls, and grey and black foliage plants transform into vibrant yellow and orange flowering plants. A 3D black grid structure visually holds the elements together.
