Sustainable Garden - Hampton Court Flower Show

 

Revolutionary timber product Accoya® was featured in the first ever ‘Sustainable Small Gardens’ category at RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show in July 2009.

Because of Accoya’s credentials for sustainability, durability and dimensional stability, it is the natural choice for cladding and decking in ‘The Rain Chain’ garden, which features a house and urban front garden set in a flood risk zone.

The house wall backdrop to the garden has been constructed & detailed by Sussex-based timber and joinery manufacturing business Westgate Joinery, and has been designed to be fully recycled after the show.  It will be re-built as a Summerhouse with a green roof, incorporating the company’s Accoya® casement window which carries an ‘A’ rating under the BFRC (British Fenestration Rating Council) Energy Rating Scheme. 

Westgate Joinery together with Garden Designer, Wendy Allen and co-sponsor, Hadlow College were awarded a coveted RHS Gold Medal at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show 2009. The garden was also awarded the Best in Category award in the Sustainable Gardens Category.
