Gold


Hi again,

Good news, Cleve West has won a coveted gold medal at the 2008 Chelsea Flower Show.

I have to say that, it was thoroughly deserved; quality design, well executed landscaping and fantastic planting add up to another success for Cleve. Because Cleve is a modest guy who doesn't make a big deal out of his success, I shall try to do it on his behalf. The garden, sponsored by BUPA, is intended to benefit people with dementia and is a great sensory journey; sight, sound, scent and touch all working in harmony.

We (Waterwell) can only take credit for the lighting. We created a framework of light by uplighting each of the six Amelanchier trees and then used a fabulous colour change LED light to bathe the "boule" in a constantly changing wash of light that ensures the boule is the centerpiece of the garden at night as well as in the day.

Have a look at this image, more to follow when we can organise them.

Many thanks to Waterwell for coming up with the goods for this garden. The Boulle required something special and the coloured LED you supplied exceeded all our expectations! I've written a piece about La Boulle for the Independent Magazine (7th June) Thanks once again for making this garden special. Cleve
