Hampton Court Palace Flower Show (3)

The ‘Contemporary contemplation’ garden, designed by OneAbode Ltd, is a contemporary and stylish garden featuring structural planting with a graphic formation of spectacular white flowering Agapanthus. Ferns drift whimsically through a bold graphic layout of box topiary balls.

The simplicity of the landscaping emphasises the elegant lines of the sunken amphitheatre and seating platform, creating a garden which is contemporary yet calm and tranquil. A classic green and white planting pallette enhances the peaceful nature of the garden.

Floating metal steps lead to a single seat nestled within the planting, with a backdrop of striking silver birch trees.
