RHS Chelsea 2016 Telegraph Garden

Contemporary Garden, London

Allgreen is proud to have been part of the winning team at RHS Chelsea Flower show 2016. The Telegraph Garden designed by Andy Sturgeon and built by Crocus.co.uk scooped the prestigious ‘Best in Show’ and Gold Medal award with the play of Jurassic materials and ancient timescale in a garden designed to thrill. A spectacular terrain inspired by boyhood adventures, this garden is about ‘the big stuff’ explains Andy. It is about the monumental forces of nature and the mind boggling time span of history. Bold and original, like all of his work, Andy loosely scatters natural Durlston Purbeck Boulders across his garden in a natural variety of sizes ranging from 5kg up to 3ton. These boulders quarried in the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset originating from the Jurassic period and provided a perfect choice of colouring and texture to the character of this beautiful Mediterranean themed garden. With a selection of crushed & graded Purbeck Limestone in a range of sizes, a rocky wild stream was created forming the perfect setting for the oatmeal coloured limestone platforms and bridges. The stunning planting and the wonderful trees are truly magnified by the Purbeck Crushed Stone Dust Render which softly highlights the contrasting colours and shapes in this inspiring garden.
