Chelsea 2004 - Transfusion  The garden in progress... |
 |
 The theme of the garden is medicinal - using the flow of colours to represent the change from illness to well-being. Two members of the Thames Valley Horticultural Society work at Ashford Hospital, including one in the haematology department, which made the title of the garden particularly apt. The garden consists of raised triangular beds in each corner and a raised rectangular bed in the centre. The colour scheme in the planting flows from left to right diagonally with a water feature placed in the right rear bed. Black and blue plants represent illness, grading through to red and pink plants of well-being after a transfusion. Water is the life blood of a garden, this is symbolised by a small statue of a water bearer. The water feature is a series of collecting dishes around a central column, so that the water gently cascades down into the reservoir for re-circulating. |
