RHS TATTON PARK

Group Long Border Planting Design

The design intention behind this planting plan is to create a microcosm of a wild coral reef. Through the interconnection of vibrant succulents and brightly coloured broad-leaved plants. The aim is to bring an exotic underwater landscape into the UK as a sensorial experience that features diverse textures, smells and colours. The design plays into the long borders theme as it encapsulates a coral reef the same way an aquarium encapsulates an aquatic landscape. are used to represent coral bleaching, this not only raises awareness that our coral reefs are rapidly deteriorating however also evokes negative senses and emotions. The bleached planting can be considered impactful due to the planting majority being beautifully vibrant and colourful creating a distinct contrast.

Rhs Tatton Park Group Long Border Planting Design

This project was conducted as a group of myself and 2 peers. The brief of this group work was to design a submission to enter the RHS Tatton Park Long Border Competition. We did this through various meeting to decide upon our concept before allocating a section for our each to create.
