The Savills Garden
Bloom 2016
Gold Medal.

The Savills Garden, titled Face to Face, was created for Savills at the Bord Bia Bloom Flower Show in Dublin. The garden explored the idea of reconnecting people with nature and with each other, creating a contemporary outdoor space designed to encourage conversation and reflection. The design combines strong architectural structure with carefully layered planting to create an immersive garden environment. Reflective water features, sculptural elements and structured planting work together to create a space that encourages visitors to slow down, disconnect from technology and reconnect with their surroundings.

The garden received a Gold Medal at the Bloom Flower Show, recognising both the strength of the design concept and the quality of its construction.

Face to face is a garden concept that aims to reconnect us with our environment and each other, all within the confines and comfort of our own homes. With the ever changing landscape of the social media age, interactions between people and our environment has all too often become a series of text and images which we ‘Like’, share, post and retweet.  Where we believe we are more connected than ever, in reality the opposite is true.  In place of real interactions and engagements on a human level, we have succumbed to the ease of virtual connections and interactions which are often just a shadow of the real thing.  The Savills Garden forms part of Andrew Christopher Garden Design’s portfolio of award-winning show gardens presented at Bloom
