RHS Rhubarb By Candlelight
The story
An artistic exploration of the otherworldly glow and atmosphere found in The Rhubarb Triangles forcing sheds, where rhubarb creaks and sparkles like jewels under candlelight. The installation aims to visually transport visitors inside the interior of dark rhubarb forcing sheds, using plants to interpret the sensory experience found within.
The Installation explores the rich and mysterious history of Yorkshire's Rhubarb Triangle, using colour, texture, light and shadow to recreate the otherworldly experience of rhubarb growing by candlelight, transforming the Chapel into an immersive experience that emulates the dark interiors of Rhubarb Forcing Sheds
The planting design combines vibrant pinks, peaches and orange with dark black to represent the visually striking pinkish rhubarb, the glowing candlelight by which it is picked and the darkness that it is grow in. Mostly perennials, the plants are woven together with grasses in corresponding shadowy tones, and annual bedding plants provide a more traditional twist within the conceptual planting scheme. Plants supplied by Owl Lane Farm Nurseries.
Current plans are to install the garden on the sponsors nursery after the show.
