Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2018 Show gardens

Take a look at the extensive range of gardens on display at Hampton Court this year

  • A range of products are put to use to create this inspirational, relaxing and entertaining garden
  • This design uses bright colours with a brand new breed of busy lizzie in six vivid hues.
  • It's designed as the ultimate feel-good outdoor space
  • This space is designed for an imaginary couple, Jack and Sam, who have a small garden but differing tastes.
  • To keep each other happy they have split the garden into two equal halves
  • Jack’s side is more traditional with a country garden feel while Sam’s is more contemporary
  • This garden illustrates sustainable rainwater management ‘Downstream Thinking’
  • Curves from grasses, paving and hedges flow towards a central seating area and water feature
  • All planting is chosen for its tolerance to periodically dry and waterlogged conditions
  • This garden represents one of the many ‘pingos’ or shallow fluctuating pools found in Breckland, Norfolk
  • It is set within the grounds of an old farmhouse on the edge of a village, which is surrounded by scrubby, sparse woodland
  • The garden captures the tranquil natural feel of the pingo
  • This space is for outdoor entertaining, and makes the garden an extension of the home
  • It's designed to provide a calm oasis within the hustle and bustle of urban living
  • Inspired by the gardens of Hotel Alma in Barcelona, the garden contains low informal seating
  • Inspired by the Belgian sculptor William Roobrouck – a 2.5m diameter corten steel sphere represents a fallen meteor.
  • The impact of the fallen meteor has blackened the fencing, burnt the trees and scorched the surrounding vegetation
  • The garden's designer, met the meteor's sculptor while living in Belgium and commissioned him to create the Indatan steel orb
  • This Russian-themed garden is based on a country estate near Moscow where Chekov wrote The Seagull
  • It has been designed to be viewed as if looking down from Chekov's wooden veranda, over apple trees and a meadow
  • Chekov was also a doctor, herbalism is illustrated through the many medical plants in this garden
  • Set within ‘Misterland’ this garden conveys the mixed emotions experienced by families living with cancer
  • At the centre is a hill split in two, one side is happy in bright colours, the other side's darker shades illustrate worry
  • There is a waterfall cascading from the 'worry' side which represents tears
  • The light and dark planting in this garden represents full vision, partial vision and total sight loss.
  • This sensory garden offers: texture, sound, movement and fragrant plants at all heights which are accessible to all.
  • A steel water wall and granite vortex provide sound and dynamism in this garden celebrating the 150th anniversary of the RNIB
  • This garden celebrates the Nordic lifestyle of saunas and plunge pools, which are traditionally used by the whole family
  • The woodland path leads through the garden to a stone-paved seating area, the sauna has a sedum roof
  • Many of the plants used in this garden have culinary and medicinal uses
  • This garden is a message of hope to amputees and their families after dramatic change
  • The bridge over stream is designed to represent an amputee reaching out to the charity
  • The natural wilderness at the beginning of the garden becomes ordered planting as the charity helps amputees take back control
  • This is a garden with security measures, including security planting on boundaries
  • Inspiration has been taken from Trentham Gardens with evergreen interest, grasses and perennials in blues and purples
  • It is an affordable and sustainable garden in which young urban couples can unwind
  • This silver medal winning garden is designed to provide a space for young people to talk, reflect and study for exams
  • Calming pinks, purples and blue planting frames the two water troughs in the centre of the garden.
  • Building this garden has given young people the opportunity to develop skills and confidence working as a team
  • This silver medal winner is a platform for craftspeople in small organisations to showcase their skills on a huge stage
  • Every element exhibits the talents of designers and makers to create beautiful spaces for people to enjoy
  • The space demonstrates what can be achieved when people draw on their natural talents and re-use the resources at hand.
  • This garden is a recreation of a stretch of the Thames in South Oxfordshire in miniature
  • There is a Reclaimed brick terrace and wall relief which reference a local Brunel railway bridge
  • The wildflowers and shrubs represent the sort of vegetation that grows along riverbanks
