Based on the philosophy of British-based gardener Tom Coward,
‘The Resilience Garden’ (above) was designed to combat climate
change and promote plant health. It demonstrates a move towards
wild gardens with a large variety of trees. “The garden investigates
how planting a greater diversity of species is an essential exercise
in ensuring our gardens and landscapes are healthy for generations
to come,” says designer Sarah Eberle of Sarah Eberle Landscape
Design. The centrepiece, a repurposed grain silo, cleverly doubled
as Sarah’s studio for the duration of the build.THE GREAT PAVILION IS THE SPACE

The RHS’s ‘Back To Nature’ garden (right), co-designed by
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was a definite highlight
of the show. Planned specifically for children and inspired by
childhood memories, it includes myriad hideouts, nooks and
crannies to stimulate active play. With this garden (previewed
by the designer’s children, Princes George and Louis and
Princess Charlotte), the duchess says she hopes to encourage
PHOTOGRAPHY (OPPOSITE) kids to spend more time outside and away from screens. >
