Photo: Ryan’s Garden
There was a little discussion happening on twitter today….was the particular garden above worthy of best in show? Well if it was my show …no…
but best in show is such a funny event anyway…. …nevertheless I jumped off twitter to find current gardens that would get my vote …and here are a few shots I found …the first one is at the Milan Furniture show 2010 by Lucatrazzi …he is playing around with gardens and light and letting the user influence the spatial patterns …whatever …..its experimental and gives me ideas
i also like the next design…not its final form …but I like the fact that it questions what does a windmill have to look like?….for god-sake we are about to be invaded by windmills …may as well get them looking good, diverse, different …why do all windmills look the same …perhaps there is only one way?? no surely not … (image taken from inhabitat )
anyway I think it illustrates that I want something different from gardens/landscapes compared to the judges who voted the 1st image best in show
…. i like new ideas …new ways of doing things ….and I like to think we are responding to the demands, needs of today not the 1900s……..really I just like clever visuals …its all about me….
Well I’d love to say YES! but you know me – are these gardens or installations? Umm.
And, ok, does it matter?
132% more exciting than the ‘best in show’!!!!

…is the 1st photo a garden or installation?
the only permanent design is the windmill – and it is responding to the wider landscape –
the first image is a temporary garden for day
the second image is a temporary garden for night
I know this is another tedious conversation but – do ‘gardens’ require horticulture – I suppose I am drawn to ‘insertions’ in landscapes (whether created or existing)
