The Glasshouse
The RHS Tatton Park Flower Show was a blooming success, with Emma Tipping, our Formal Gardens Supervisor, winning a Silver Medal in the Young Designer Competition for her ‘Come Lime With Me’ garden. Take a look at the garden below.
As you wander around the garden, attention is immediately drawn to the bright, colourful plants and flowers that create a lively and cheerful atmosphere to relax with friends.
Vibrant and colourful flora is used to liven up the garden.
Emma’s garden design was inspired by the Guyanese-Caribbean culture of ‘liming’, which involves hanging out with friends and family, sharing food, drink, conversation and laughter. This looks like the perfect spot for doing just that!
Another key message behind Emma’s design is the pressing issue of sea-level rise – a real concern for both the Guyanese and British coastlines. Water is a key feature of the landscapes of both countries (Guyana means ‘land of many waters’) and is integrated into the design through three water troughs, which have been built and filled to different heights to reflect sea-level rise. The main structure is a large seating bench designed to mimic Guyana’s Sea Wall, a 280-mile-long coastal defence, parts of which are where locals go to ‘lime’ on a Saturday night.

The re-creation of The Glasshouse is nearly complete – we can almost hear the drum roll! We caught up with the interior designer behind it all, Martin Hulbert, who gave us some fascinating insights into how his vision for The Glasshouse came together.
A close encounter with a spectacular bird of prey is an astonishing moment that can stay with you forever, especially as we rarely see wild creatures these days. That’s why The Grove offer Woodland Hawking experiences all year round for anyone 3 upwards. Here we talk to the man behind the glove, Grant Fear, as he shares his passion for the majestic sport of falconry.
