Garden design rethinks itself - Brompton Borders
As you might start planning for the 2010 Chelsea Flower Show... you may like to know about the Brompton Borders:
This is last year's pitch!
'
Garden and outdoor furniture will be on display in numerous imaginative and experimental settings across Brompton in west London next month.
Artists,
gardeners, museums and shops will be joining in the cultural heart of
Kensington for Brompton Borders, a fringe garden festival coinciding
with the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
From May 16th to 24th, garden
enthusiasts will have a chance to enjoy hidden green spaces and
'contemporary visions of urban nature' in the historic London borough.
Organised by Arts Co in response to the ideas of influential garden designer Gertrude Jekyll, Brompton Borders will see art intermingle with gardening in a variety of unique ways.
Iconic
retailers including Few and Far, Skandium and The Conran Shop will be
creating small gardens in their windows and outside spaces, while
restaurants such as Bibendum and Le Pain will provide special menus.
Meanwhile, art
collective House of Fairy Tales is to host a secret garden festival in
a disused car park on May 23rd and artists El & Abe will be
decorating hidden spaces with their striking moss graffiti.
Thanks for the Info...
I really love picture in this post, of writing with wall-moss.
A great idea for special and easy signs !
I just wonder if this can be only a temp installation, or can be somewhat permanent (by keeping the wall humid)
