The garden is inspired by the landscape found at Loch Craignish on the west coast of Scotland, home to Seawilding. The garden has a distinctly coastal atmosphere. Sandstone rock outcrops emerge from a saltwater pool and pebble beach, to create planting zones ranging from a bog to elevated slightly freer draining soils.
A sandstone step stone path leads to an informal rocky seating area within the garden. A seagrass sculpture ‘flowing’ over the informal seating area connects the land-based garden with the saltwater pool, planted with seagrass, our only native flowering plant in the ocean. Emerging from the rocky outcrops at the front of the garden, a viewing window gives a glimpse into the underwater world at Loch Craignish.
This is the first time that seagrass will feature at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and highlights the increasing importance of marine conservation in the fight against climate change.
