RHS Award Winning Garden

Project Type: Show Garden
This award winning garden showcases the ultimate in luxurious outdoor living.  With every facility you could ever desire in a garden, tastefully incorporated into a beautiful design and built to the highest possible standards.

Winners of a Silver medal at the RHS Hampton Court Garden Festival in 2022, The SunsLifestyle Outdoor Living Garden is a space for people who relish stylish comfort, good company and opulent surroundings.  

A generously sized louvred pergola with a sleek interior and sliding glass doors houses an indoor fireplace for cooler summer evenings and brisk autumn afternoons.  Porcelain paving, supplied by Arbour Landscape Solutions is the perfect surfacing for a large patio with a large dining area and a luxurious plunge pool. Just right for cooling off on a hot day and for entertaining friends and family.

The entire garden is brought to life by lavish planting which includes multistemmed trees and a carefully chosed palette of shrubs and herbaceous perennials.  Could you picture yourself in a garden like this? I know I could.

Brief
Pure Opulence

Sam Moore from Consilium Hortus along with the garden's sponsors SunLifestyle wanted to create a space for socialising and relaxing that exuded comfort, indulgence, and luxury. Within a relatively small space there would be room for outdoor dining, enjoying sunny days and cosying up by the fire on chilly evenings.

Sam's design uses only the best quality landscaping products and combines them to create an opulent garden for people with discerning tastes.

Challenge
Show Garden Challenges

Every show garden has challenges, not least because there is such a tight deadline for completion. However, Sam has strong relationships with installers, Ashworth Specialist Landscapers and with Richard Bickler from Arbour Landscape Solutions. That bond between designer, landscaper and supplier went a long way to ensuring that the garden build ran as smoothly as possible.

Solution
A Well Deserved Silver Medal

Looking at the pictures and the video, we're surprised that this incredible garden won a silver medal - it should have been gold!
Just look at the attention to detail, the precision and the carefully sourced landscaping materials, plants and furnishings that make this garden the ultimate in luxurious outdoor living. Congratulations to all involved - the garden is a triumph!
