Chelsea - a sneak preview...


One day I will do a garden at Chelsea. Today however was about seeing what all the hype is about - it is a famously stressful rite of passage for any garden designer - and I was invited to help plant a garden. Not one of the main Avenue gardens, but - much more intriguingly - a small garden, designed around a Korean lavatory. A garden with a loo, called Haewooso. The designer, Jihae Hwang, aims to present a spiritual oasis where you can free yourself of anxious thoughts, re-attune the body and attain peace... I can hardly write that without sniggering. I think her garden will be lovely though.
