Brewin Dolphin
is delighted to announce, that for the fourth consecutive year, they will have
a Show Garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. For 2015 Brewin Dolphin will be
working with designer Darren Hawkes for whom this will be his second Chelsea
appearance.
The Garden
The
garden will draw on Brewin Dolphin’s heritage, but will also reflect their
forward thinking approach to business and ability to evolve and adapt to
changes in the financial and wider world.
The garden will be filled with mature English
Elms and familiar hedgerow plants evoking a shared memory of the British
Countryside and a cultural heritage. This, coupled with the use of
traditional materials, will reflect Brewin Dolphin’s unique place within the
financial market as a long established and highly respected business working
with clients over generations.
With a heritage of over 250 years, Brewin
doesn't rest on its successes but reaches out both to new markets and new
clients with enthusiasm. This forward thinking attitude is strongly
represented in the layout of the garden with unconventional floating platforms
as a means of navigating through the space, bringing a sense of exploration,
playfulness and wonder to those who enter.
Tim Walker, Head of Brewin
Dolphin in Exeter said; “We are thrilled to be working with Darren Hawkes to create another
undoubtedly beautiful and interesting garden at the 2015 RHS Chelsea Flower
Show. Every year we are incredibly proud to showcase our garden to the public
and our clients. We are expecting great things from Darren and are glad to be
part of his progression.”
The Designer
Darren Hawkes is
delighted to be designing the Brewin Dolphin garden this year. Having received a RHS Silver-Gilt medal for
his 2013 Show Garden for SeeAbility he got the Chelsea bug and has been
developing this idea over the past two years.
He has worked in
the industry for nearly twenty years, cutting his teeth as a landscape gardener
before turning freelance designer.
Having worked in London for 10 years he moved to Cornwall and
established Wheelbarrow, a high end design and landscaping business. This grew quickly prompting a second
business, Darren Hawkes Landscapes devoted to design only projects.
He is currently
working on projects in Bristol, Cornwall, Devon and West London.
The contractor for the Brewin Dolphin Garden 2015 will be
Bowles and Wyer, and the plants are being supplied by Kelways.
