This conceptual garden, sponsored by the Optoelectronics Research Centre at University of Southampton, CED Ltd, SureSet UK Ltd, Dural Ltd, Barcham Trees plc and Grange Fencing Ltd, reflects the world-leading research into light-transmitting optical fibre by the University of Southampton.
The pavilion is a light-filled structure. Fibre optic glass 'drops' are set into the floor and the ‘wave-form’ path is a metaphor for how light refracts along the fibres. The trees, Sorbus aria‘Magnifica’ and the surrounding planting are in cool shades, building to a vibrant colour spectrum. Paler Hydrangea paniculata crescendo into bright plants such as Helenium‘Sahin’s Early Flowerer’.
