Addagrip was involved in The Journey of Life show garden with its Resin Bound Terrabase Rustic surfacing at this year’s RHS Hampton Court Flower Show 2017.
The Bronze award winning garden, designed by Edward Mairis and built by Xardin Gardens marked the birth of new approach to garden design, poetic gardening, which aimed to connect with the soul. It dared to tackle the perennial question – what is the meaning of life?
Based on the classical Asian garden, the garden used Addagrip’s resin bound surfacing to draw visitors from the past and lead you to the present - an area of deep contemplation.
It was minimalistic in style with its contrasting brightly coloured rainbow Perspex wall representing the boundless future and providing a backdrop to structural planting, natural aggregate paving and an island seating area. These combined with the high-tech atrium, water areas and hydroponic salad towers contrast with the ancient olive tree and Niwaki (giant bonsai) to create a ‘Poetic Garden’ full of colour and positivity.
Addagrip were approached by Edward to help out with providing a natural looking surface that would be hard wearing but aesthetically sympathetic to the design and we were delighted to donate our Terrabase Rustic Resin Bound system in a Rustic Gold natural aggregate blend.
The innovative Terrabase Rustic resin bound porous system is low maintenance and can be installed without the need for a concrete or asphalt base to provide a seamless decorative surface with minimum digging.
