Crabtree & Evelyn: The Botanical Studio, designed by Jade Goto, Silver-gilt medal

  • The Working Wetlands Garden provides a solution to the problem of flash flooding caused by urban run-off.
  • Purified rainwater fills an amazing wildlife pond.
  • The garden is also designed as a haven for wildlife and people.
  • After very heavy rain the pond will overflow into a series of low wetlands which store the water, releasing it slowly.
  • The Viking Cruises Scandinavian Garden is inspired by the wild, natural beauty of Scandinavia.
  • The garden evokes a traditional Scandinavian way of life where comfort and beauty is drawn from the simplest things.
  • A gravel path leads to the door of a humble house, which nestles into an earth mound.
  • A boat rests on a pebble beach where large boulders have been placed.
  • The Immerse garden flows with positive energy, capturing a sense of being protected, nurtured, revitalised and inspired.
  • Planting on the upper level is grassy, with lots of movement.
  • Moving down the stairs, there is an abundance of lush, wide-leafed plants.
  • This Dog’s Trust garden celebrates the charity’s commitment to finding new owners for thousands of homeless dogs each year.
  • Lively sculptures capture the character of dogs, whilst the stillness of the large water feature represents abandonment.
  • Hybrid plants illustrate the wide range of dogs you are likely to meet at a Dog’s Trust rehoming centre.
  • This garden offers a semi-floral contemporary space for both people and dogs.
  • This garden is inspired by the patterns of Yorkshire; linear dry stone walls define a landscape of pasture and meadows.
  • A weathered steel and stone seating area provides shelter.
  • Water flows into a wilder area of meadow, hedges and woodland.
  • Flower meadow planting connects the formal and informal elements of the garden.
  • The Botanical Studio garden has been planted in tiers reflecting the base, heart and top notes of classic perfumery creation.
  • Constructed from wood and glass, The Still Room is a botanical studio.
  • Seaweed and roses are on display amongst the mono-planted blocks on display.
  • The raised planters of singular species allow the viewer to stop and inhale each one’s essence.
