Honda’s ‘Garden of Dreams’
Honda’s ‘Garden of Dreams’

Honda’s award winning 'Garden of Dreams'

The Honda’s show garden was inspired by the Company’s philosophy - the ‘Power of Dreams’. Soft, dreamy plantings contrast with a dynamic, spiral pathway that leads into a dark contemplation pool shaped like a keyhole, suggesting a portal to another place. White painted trees with painted shadows lengthen perspective and add imagination of the space. The garden was awarded a silver medal by the Royal Horticultural Society at Gardeners’ World Live 2011.
