The imminent opening of Chelsea’s annual Flower Show (19 – 23 May 2015) and London’s Garden Museum showcase of the work of the late, much-lauded landscape architect Russell Page has landed the green-fingered firmly back in the spotlight.
The Conran Shop’s garden-focused edit has something for everyone this spring: from those who relish the challenge of horticulture to those who would rather take the more passive route of aesthetic inspiration from botanical life.
While the reissue of the mysterious Green Florilegium bulges with exquisite illustrations and would make a bold feature on any coffee table, future design classics such as Céline Lhuillier’s Gouvey Tractor Stool and Paola Navone’s Gingerbread Clay Watering Can lend a contemporary yet practical touch to any outdoor space.
