Gold Medal and Best in Show at RHS Malvern Spring Festival 2017
AT ONE WITH... MEDITATION GARDEN
At One With… was designed as a meditation garden — a space that explores the connection between mind, body, and the natural environment.
The garden focuses on sensory experience and balance. A circular form anchors the design, creating a feeling of enclosure and stillness within the wider show environment. Planting, water, and stone are arranged to guide attention inward, encouraging presence and calm.
The layout draws the surrounding landscape into the garden, reinforcing the idea that reflection and healing are rooted in connection with nature rather than separation from it.
This is a garden intended to be felt as much as seen. Movement is slow and deliberate, with moments to sit, pause, and observe. Sound, texture, and seasonal planting work together to create a restorative atmosphere that contrasts with the bustle of the showground beyond.
