4 July 2023
Hard on the heels of the Chelsea Flower Show, Welsh Slate and Breedon Special Aggregates have supplied celebrated garden designer Paul Hervey-Brookes with materials for his latest garden at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.
The leading UK manufacturer of natural slate products and the building materials group are supplying a total of 10 different types of landscaping materials to Paul’s Cancer Research UK Legacy garden* at the festival from July 4th to 9th.
The Cancer Research UK Legacy garden celebrates the hope and optimism brought about by gifts in wills, and encourages reflection, conversation, and connection in a tranquil woodland. The space also has varying levels and is mostly hidden from the outside. Discovery happens when you step inside – stream inlets lead to a central body of water with an isolated jetty – a metaphor for the fear and loneliness cancer can bring – but facing the ‘Pledge Pavilion’ symbolises hope and though the journey is difficult, you are not alone.
The Welsh Slate products are 15 boulders, 250mm x 500mm Penrhyn Riven paving, four glacial boulders, sliced glacial boulders, slate feature stones, rockery stone, and 40mm and 20mm Penrhyn Blue chippings.
The Breedon materials are 100mm concrete blocks from the group’s Wickwar site, various sized cobbles for the “river” feature from its Wangford quarry, and of course the Royal Warrant holding Breedon Golden Amber self-binding gravel quarried at Breedon quarry.
Paul’s garden at Hampton Court will be built by GK Wilson Landscapes who built his RBC Brewin Dolphin Garden at this years’ Chelsea.
Breedon is also supplying its Breedon Golden Amber self-binding gravel and MOT Type 1 sub-base to BBC Morning Live’s resident gardener Mark Lane who is creating the accessible RHS-BBC Morning Live garden at Hampton Court. This will be built by Augustine John Developments.
We think you’ll agree that the designers along with their trusty design teams have done a fantastic job!
