Contemporary materials make up this multi-layered installation. Perspex walls become temporarily obscured by rain, frost or dew, so altering the viewer’s perception of the scheme. The Zen-like forms and meticulously finished structures of the garden are linked by a green velvet wave of turf. A single tree and a purple beech hedge add a naturalistic touch to the planting.
Designer Alan Gardner sees outside spaces as 3-D canvases and believes his work would not look out of place at the Tate Modern. He has created 23 RHS show gardens over the last 10 years, pushing the boundaries of garden design, and considers himself a landscape artist. This is Alan’s first time at Chelsea, and with his blue spiky hair, yellow glamoflage trousers and brightly coloured nails this Brummie designer really is one of a kind.
