Homebase champion urban green spaces at Chelsea Flower Show 2015
|
Multi-award winning designer Adam Frost will bring a modernist feel to 2015 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, creating a dynamic community space for The Homebase Garden, to highlight the importance of green spaces in our urban environments. Inspired by the work of Marcel Breuer and the Bauhaus movement, the garden will have a strong architectural feel using modernist materials and simple geometric shapes to form a dynamic backbone to the garden and to break the space to create water, lawn and planting divisions. The concrete structures will be softened with wildlife-friendly planting to reflect the active wildlife corridors in our city dwellings and to demonstrate how nature can thrive in an urban setting. A striking cedar-clad building at the rear of the garden will add a distinct urban flavour and provide a unique viewing platform. Homebase is a long-standing sponsor at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The 2015 Homebase Garden will be its fourth Show Garden at the event following three consecutive Gold medals. Students from the recently launched Homebase Garden Academywill be working alongside Adam Frost to build the garden.
