Silver gilt at Chelsea 2010
`The Naturally Fashionable Garden` by Nick Dexter is awarded Silver gilt at The Chelsea Flower Show 2010.
Coblands best4plants would like to congratulate Nick on his fantastic garden. `The Naturally Fashionable Garden` was created using plants supplied by Coblands Best4plants.co.uk, and to celebrate we will be offering a
15% discount on all of the plants used in his design.
Exhibited by
BrandAlley.co.uk, Nick`s garden is inspired by fabric textures, fashion design and the work of artist Sonia Delaunay (1885-1979). She was noted for her use of overlapping, abstract blocks of colour which the eye would intermingle to create a harmonious composition.
The white boundaries highlight the strong colours seen in leaf, stem, flower and material selection. Every element contrasts and relates to other elements in the garden. The texture of textiles viewed under an electron microscope inspired the concept for the stumpery.
How the design started
This bold and contemporary urban garden, beautifully constructed from sumptuous and luxurious natural materials, makes a powerful style statement. By combining a defined geometric pattern, with natural elements, Nick has created an exciting composition.
