STYLE w Literally landscaping
The Brontës’ Yorkshire Garden was inspired by a location the famous sisters used to visit to discuss their ideas and writing, Top Withens. Now a popular tourist destination, it is believed to be the setting for the Earnshaw family house in Wuthering Heights. The RHS Chelsea garden designed by Tracy Foster features a stream, a clapper bridge and elements of the landscape characteristic of the Pennine Moors. The garden also serves as a celebration of the 165th anniversary of some of the Brontë sisters’ most famous works – Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey. Showcasing how clever landscaping and planting – by Aire Valley Landscapes and Richard Clegg – can transform even the smallest of spaces to be evocative of an entirely different space, this artisan garden was a Gold Medal winner.

Everlasting nature The L’Occitane Immortelle Garden recreates the island home of the brand’s skincare collection – Corsica – and features its essential ingredient. The products are formulated using essential oils from the bright yellow ‘immortelle’ (‘everlasting’) flower, which grows in the country’s high rocky terrain. A small lagoon, sandy beach footpath and typical bergerie (sheepfold) completed the display. Seeking to illustrate the close relationship between man and horticulture, this rustic, wild garden should provide fantastic inspiration for spas looking to reference their indigenous surroundings by planting trees and flowers typical to their native location.
