Huge Investment At Atlas To Meet New Season Demand
Due to demand for Atlas Stone landscaping products, significant investment is being made to boost production levels and supply new product lines.
"The version we're creating at Chelsea captures the very essence of a traditional English garden.
It will be elegant yet relaxed, featuring water fountains, formal seating areas and glorious, colourful beds.
The focal point will be The Writers Retreat, a lovely rustic summerhouse which draws inspiration from George Bernard Shaw's hut at Shaw's Corner, his Hertfordshire home for more than 40 years".
The garden will also encourage show visitors to think about the environment by promoting composting and the harvesting of rainwater, and will encourage them to reduce their carbon footprint by growing fruit and vegetables in their gardens.
Says designer Geoff Whiten: "We want to inspire people to experiment with plant associations by showing that it's perfectly acceptable and possible to mix shrubs, herbaceous plants, fruits, vegetables and herbs together in a small space.".
