The Naturally Fashionable Garden (Picture 2)
This stylish garden has been inspired by the bold, artistic movement of the fashion industry. The avant-garde and pioneering work of the textile designer Sonia Delauney (1885- 1979) has influenced the garden's layout. The design combines a defined geometric pattern with natural elements, creating an exciting composition. The random nature of fabric fibres when viewed under an electron microscope is the inspiration behind the stumpery, through which water flows. Textile patterns influenced the sinuous layout of the plants, which have been arranged into well-defined groups. Whilst fashion is in a continual state of change, the principles of good design remain constant.
