ABOUT THE GARDEN
I FIRST CAME ACROSS HEATHER APPLETON AT THE 2011 CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW WHERE SHE DESIGNED A
BEAUTIFUL GARDEN FOR CHILSTONE. WITH ITS SUPERB PLANTING AND TURQUOISE CARPET IT WAS GREAT
TO PHOTOGRAPH. SO WHEN I LEARNT SHE ALSO HAD A GARDEN AT THE HAMPTON COURT PALACE FLOWER
SHOW, I HAD TO CHECK IT OUT. FORTUNATELY, WHEN I WAS THERE, HEATHER WAS AT THE GARDEN AND SHE
TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN HER THINKING BEHIND THE DESIGN. HERS WAS ONE OF A GROUP OF SMALL
GARDENS INSPIRED BY BRITISH POETS. IN HEATHER’S CASE, IT WAS ‘MY BOY JACK’ A SHORT POEM BY
RUDYARD KIPLING ABOUT HIS SEARCH FOR HIS ONLY SON WHO WAS LOST IN ACTION IN FRANCE DURING
WW1. FITTINGLY, THE GARDEN FEATURES A RED, WHITE AND BLUE COLOUR SCHEME. POPPIES ARE ALSO
PROMINENT IN THE PLANTING WHICH INCLUDES BLOCKS OF BAY LAUREL RESEMBLING HEADSTONES.
INTENDED TO BE EVOCATIVE OF A SEASIDE GARDEN, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SMALL, IT CONTAINS LOTS OF
INTERESTING DETAIL, SUCH AS ROCKS, A BOARDWALK AND BIRD SCULPTURES. I ONLY HAD A SHORT TIME TO
SHOOT IT, BUT I HOPE THESE IMAGES GIVE A SENSE OF WHAT MADE THE KIPLING GARDEN WORTHY OF THE
GOLD MEDAL IT RECEIVED.
