Garden description
Turning a garden on its head, first time RHS designer Anoushka has made a design which looks to the sky rather than the soil. Massive mirrors surround the plot reflecting the sky, inviting reflective thought. Inside the mirrors a structure has its ceiling filled with upside-down planting whilst below a blue resin glows like the sky itself.
