With just three weeks to go before he starts building the garden, Ollie Pike makes a final check on his precious plants at Cliff Bank Nursery near Harrogate. Growing plants that will convey the idea of a meadow or churchyard, swathes of British natives to be planted in drifts, has been the job of new plant growers Ben and Laura. The couple have recently re-opened Cliff Bank Nursery, which had been growing plants for the last 100 years. It was to them that Ollie Pike turned when he wanted beautiful British native plants for the Psalm 27 Garden. Now, with just a few weeks to go before the RHS Flower Show Tatton Park, Ollie makes a final check on the plants to ensure that they are Show-ready. --- @pikestudio --- #Psalm27Garden #Psalm27 #RHS #RHSTatton #TattonGarden

𝗢𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝗸𝗲'𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝟮𝟳 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 Childhood holidays, the pandemic and a funeral all inspired the creation of Ollie Pike’s Psalm 27 Garden, as he explains on a behind-the-scenes visit to Somerset. Childhood summer holidays for Ollie Pike meant visiting his grandparents in Somerset. Their rural home is set next to a church, and young Ollie spent lots of time exploring the peaceful churchyard and helping his grandmother arrange flowers in the church. ‘It’s a really special place to me,’ he said on a recent return to the village. ‘I wanted to capture the feeling of this place in the garden.’ During the pandemic, it was again a churchyard that offered Ollie solace. His local churchyard in Sheffield was the only green space that Ollie could visit in the one-hour exercise period allowed each day. It was, he said, a place of ‘escape’. Attending a family funeral, he heard Psalm 27 read, and was struck by its hopeful message. These three things woven together have helped form the Psalm 27 Garden, which will be unveiled at the Young Designer of the Year competition at RHS Flower Show Tatton Park in July. --- @pikestudio @Butlerlandscape @bighedgecompany @SheffieldGenCem --- #Psalm27Garden #Bible #Psalm27 #RHS #RHSTatton
