Wormhole (Foramen vermis)

Conceptual Gardens
Due to unforseen circumstances this garden was not judged

A 4.3m (14ft) high pyramid depicts a symbolic interpretation of the universe. Portals running through its core portray wormholes, a mystical passage through space and time, possibly leading to a parallel Hampton Court!

The pyramid is encircled by a pool of black water, anthracite and a ring of hot-looking translucent glass rocks and fiery-coloured flowers. They represent a dying star becoming an all-devouring black hole. The planting hints at the final solar flares of the doomed star.
