The Laurent-Perrier Bicentenary Garden

Making a welcome return to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show after more than 10 years away, Arne Maynard will be representing the art of fine craftsmanship in The Laurent-Perrier Bicentenary Garden.

This ornamental garden will mix traditional and contemporary elements to portray timeless elegance in a “real” way which visitors can relate to and enjoy.

Handcrafted works of art by renowned British sculptors, Alison Crowther and Breon O’Casey, will be complemented by a soft planting scheme and touches of topiary. An antique pear tree will form a key focal point and the use of water to outline the garden will add movement and a cool elegance.

Central to the garden design is the use of pleached copper beech trees. They will create height and structure within the design and form a natural enclosure for the central seating area and sculpture. The view through the trees will focus on a hand-crafted wall which supports climbing roses chosen for their colour and scent.

In recognition of Laurent Perrier’s Bicentenary, the chosen materials link the design to the Champagne House’s French heritage.

Showcasing a fine attention to detail, Arne Maynard hopes to reflect Laurent Perrier’s world famous reputation for time-honoured methods and pioneering techniques.
