The Daily Telegraph Garden, Chelsea Flower Show 2009
Swedish landscape architect Ulf Nordfjell designed our garden for this year's
Chelsea Flower Show. He scooped a Gold Medal and Best in Show, so we are enjoying the reflected glory.
I have known Ulf for a number of years, and am fascinated by the way he
takes the essence of a natural landscape or an age-old garden theme and
reinterprets it in modern sculptural form - at Chelsea, he dissected English
cottage gardening and gave it a Scandinavian makeover. Very few British
garden designers seem to be able to produce contemporary gardens with such
cool, masterly confidence. www.nordfjellcollection.se
