For a taste of the tropics in Maida Vale simply head over to our London branch and view the latest flamboyant makeover of our seasonal pocket show garden!
Designed originally by Jake Curley, Gold medal winner in the RHS Young Garden Designer of the Year 2017 competition, and replanted with fresh planting designs on a seasonal basis by our talented team at the London branch, this pocket show garden aims to illustrate how even a small space can be transformed into an all year round space with colour, interest, movement and style.
Inspired by the long hot summer with the long sunny days now stretching into September, the distinctly tropical theme of the show garden shows how easy it is to make an exotic haven in your own garden or outdoor space.
The garden is totally contained within bespoke fibreglass planters, a technique that works in any outdoor space and can be scaled up or down depending on requirements. The plants in the garden surround a bubbling water table and outdoor lighting enhances the garden in the evenings, with the subtle ambient light reflecting off the trickling water feature and highlighting the striking planting.
