The mine was designed and built by Robin Higgins.
|
This design was thought through with a circular plot to make full use of the exhibit, which let the spectators have the chance to see the garden in their own time. We often found when doing show gardens in the past that people are rushed past and don't get the chance to see it so people appreciated being able to get right around especially so for the wheelchair users and mums and dads with children.
The front of the mine was dramatic with a waterfall but there was also a sence of peaceful atmosphere with a display of delicate planting of Saxifraga's, Dicentra's, Convallarial and Fox glove running through the old brick shed ruin and the dumping ground of oil drums. The mine wheel was built from some old farm equipment and the trams and line were borrowed from a miner in Wales whom still mines today but uses modern machinery designed by himself!..
The mine was built to represent a time in our history and the industrial engineering of our culture, which can be forgot, this is still a way of life for some people. During our exhibit at the show we did have an experience of the mine collapsing just as the judges were doing their rounds, this was highlighted on BBC Gardeners World but it was quickly rectified with the help of some of the other garden exhibiters and we went on to win another silver gilt medal.

Imagine that you are walking through small
atmospheric woodland where you are greeted by
a mass of lush greenery that includes ferns and
shrubs and large trees. There is also be sweet
aroma of various flowers that give a stunning
display of colour.
There is a rock feature beneath some large semi-mature
trees approximately five meters high. You come
to a clearing where a stone bridge will take you
from a stone patio area over a pool and waterfall
onto a gravelled pathway with stone stepping-stones.
If you follow the pathway and water feature you
go past a rock pool and come across a circular
stone dwelling with a turret, windows and a door.
Opposite the door is a set of stone steps leading
you out of the garden.

BRIEF: 1999 Spring Fair. Main feature is the
waterfall made off slate, modern artistic garden
design attracted a lot of attention from press.
This garden was created using a variety of modern
materials used together to achieve texture and
striking colour schemes. We have used Cotswold
quarry cut stone for the walls and the water feature
is made from Welsh slate, to compliment the colours.
Cobbles have been used along with wood.
