GO GREEN

-

At this year’s RHS Hampton Court Flower Show, quiet your thoughts in the tranquil Apeiron Garden. It was designed by Alex RainfordRo­berts, who was struck by the sense that her memories of her grandfathe­r would live on after he died, which inspired her to create a meadow that exists and doesn’t all at once. The result is a mirrored room containing an infinite garden, which is perfect for a moment alone.

In other installati­ons, you’ll find plants that reduce pollution and improve air quality, and you can challenge your views on consumeris­m in an installati­on set aboard a cattle truck. Meanwhile, the South West Water Green Garden promotes the fact that rainwater is a precious resource, and wants to inspire others to implement water recycling in their own back yards, and create gardens that reduce flood risk.
