RHS Chelsea Flower Show principal sponsor Marshalls plc has received a Silver Gilt Medal for its show garden The Marshalls Living Street at this year’s event.
The garden features a glimpse into the life of a modern, urban housing development where the design and community have embraced the theme of creating ‘better landscapes’ for towns, cities, public spaces and private gardens.
Designed by Ian Dexter, The Living Street is a diversification away from the normal Show Garden format highlighting what can be achieved even in the most modest of spaces in an urban setting where value and ownership of a front garden is respected and encouraged.
Marshalls created the Show garden in support of its national ‘Campaign for Better Landscapes’ which calls for both public and private bodies, as well as individuals, to seriously consider the societal and individual benefits of creating ‘better landscapes’ in our towns, cities, public spaces and our private gardens.
