We were delighted to receive the trophy from Alan Titchmarsh after being awarded First Prize in the Master Gardener Competition at the 119th Royal Windsor Flower Show.
The garden challenged some conventional ideas about what a garden should be. Rather than focusing on control and perfection, Rooted in Nature explored a different question:
Are we simply observing nature, or are we participants within it?
The garden drew on biodynamic and naturalistic principles, weaving together planting, movement and light to reflect the interplay of thinking, feeling and willing. Copper elements traced connections between soil and cosmos, while cultivated plants grew alongside wild and self-seeded species, celebrating relationship, diversity and the living processes that shape a garden.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring the vision to life and to all those who stopped to visit, ask questions and share conversations throughout the show.
