The Winning Garden Design 2006/07

This year, the garden theme had to support the World of Wearable Arts festival.

"The idea of a necklace came from the shape & slope of the site - with the garden necklace sitting on the neck and shoulders of the existing 'grande dame' Norfolk Pine," said designer Rach Matthews. "And I knew the idea of a jewelled necklace would appeal at least to half the population!"

Ruby Necklace incorporates two innovative ideas – a two toned hedge clipped to the same level, and frame topiary using climbers and hedging plants.

"Any plant defying shape can be created using a frame - and both climbers and hedging plants are trained around and under the domes" explains Rachael.

"The climbers were twisted around and over the frames; and the hedging plants were clipped using the frame’s shape as a cutting guide."
