Designed by Jeremy Salt, this simple but clever use of space was initially devised as a bit of lighthearted fun. Jeremy’s theory was based on the fact that the less features you put a garden, the less there is for the judges to mark you down on, however, to Jeremy’s amazement and delight the garden received a Silver-Gilt Medal. Not bad for a corner, nine slabs, a table and six mirrors from IKEA!

Joking aside, whilst the garden was self-funded on a minimal budget, the features still showcased the Henley Salt attention to detail and all items with the exception of the mirrors were unique and specifically created for the garden.
