Orange and purple planting was definitely the name of the game.  This is the Sentebale Garden, designed by Matt Keightley and inspired by Sentebale’s Mamohato Children’s Centre.

Orange geum were definitely a trend at the show and they looked fabulous.  Orange is my favourite colour, never failing to make me smile.

The garden room at the back of the garden was great.  Behind it were ferns and shady plants, really lovely.

The design aims to demonstrate that it’s possible to create green spaces in urban situations, using modern materials and strong design whilst bringing the softness of nature.
