RHS Chelsea Flower Show: An NHS Tribute Garden Design
Most peoples have turned to gardens and nature to find some calm and mindful moments, so it is no astonishment that this is great attention for the Chelsea Flower Show 2021. RHS has introduced a new Nature preserve Gardens category especially for these anxious times and An NHS Tribute Garden, in particular, is devoted to catching this theme.
An NHS Tribute Garden designed by
Naomi Ferrett-Cohen for the University of Oxford and the Oxford University
Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the orchard is a celebration of all those who
have worked so determinedly, and given firm support and care, throughout the COVID-19.
“This has been a stressful time for all of us and it is a difficult topic to
deal with carefully, to convey in a garden. What we decided to do is really
focus on those that have been working together for one cause,” Naomi tells.
What encouraged the NHS Tribute Garden in Chelsea Flower Show 2021?
NHS Tribute Garden came about
because of a former garden called A Life Without Walls created by Naomi
Ferrett-Cohen at Chelsea Flower Show 2018. This garden was about the experience
of people living with HIV. Professor John Frater of the University of Oxford, a
specialist in infectious illnesses, had worked with Naomi on that project and
got in touch again last summer. She explains “Because of what has happened with
COVID-19, at the university he and the whole team changed what they were doing
and turned to research the vaccine”.
RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021: An NHS Tribute Garden: Design features
An NHS Tribute Garden design is
for a relaxing space to reflect, and feel immersed in nature, but it also had
to somehow represent the trials and achievements of the past 18 months. Naomi
tells, “I came up with the idea of using water, in a series of rills and small
pools which represent everyone coming together.”
Design features:
- water,
in a series of rills and small pools, representing emotions
- steps
leading to an oak canopy with curving edges
- soft
planting with a calming feel
- ornamental
grasses: Stipa gigantea and Anemanthele lessoniana
- late-season
flowers: Echinacea pallida, Persicaria ‘Firetail’, aster ‘Little Carlow’,
Achillea ‘Walther Funke’
- dahlias
including ‘Thomas Edison’
The water movements around the
orchard, down winding rills, into and out of many different little round pools,
which symbolize the diverse groups of people who have come together and
collaborated for the greater good. It then flows on to a final, larger central
pool. “That represents where we are all hoping to get to, that point where we
can all have a normal life again, where we are safe and can move around once
more.”
