Show Garden - RHS Hampton Court 2016
The UNHCR ‘Border Control’ Garden was a conceptual show garden that appeared at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show in July 2016. The garden was awarded a gold medal and the prestigious Best in Show for the conceptual garden category.
Co-designed with Tom Massey, built by Landform Consultants and sponsored by the UN Refugee Agency, the garden was designed to raise awareness of the refugee crisis and the risks that many people are forced to take to find sanctuary.
Tying in with the UNHCR’s campaign ‘Nobody Left Outside’, the garden emphasised the importance of providing shelter, both in the physical sense and from the psychological stresses of fleeing a conflict zone.
