Chelsea Flower Show 2008

A refined and muted palette of materials was at the core of this show garden sponsored by QVC.  Layers of linear dry-stone walling, rammed earth and acid etched bronze mirror brought rhythm to the boundary treatment.  Still, reflective water hugged the interface between this boundary treatment and the uber -meadow inspired planting, of fresh acid greens, bright yellows and bold counter points of rich, deep claret.
