Royal Bank of Canada Garden
Gold medalist
Designed by Charlotte Harris this garden is inspired by the geographically vast and ecologically vital Boreal forests and freshwater lakes of Canada.
Stretching from Alberta to Newfoundland, the habitat provides many of the images of exposed bedrock, endless forests, rushing rivers and broad wetlands that characterise the image that much of the world has of Canada.
Charlotte chose a Canadian habitat as the inspiration for the garden, as 2017 also celebrates the 150 anniversary of the Confederation of Canada.
The theme of the planting is led by the look and feel of the Canadian Boreal. Trees, shrubs and plant choices are influenced by the habitat.
Some plants are native; others are more readily available European alternatives, or plants with a similar feel.
