A day at the Chelsea Flower Show

A Cadogan Garden

A garden of dappled shade, lush planting and cooling water rills, this is set in a hotter, possibly wetter, London of the future. A double-layered tree canopy of palms and sculptural trees creates shade. Two rills flow through low planting, creating narrow vistas and informal irrigation channels. To the rear, a terrace features a statue of Sir Hans Sloane, the originator of the Cadogan Estate. In the piazza area at the front York stone paving is set with clipped planting and timber seats.
