This garden was inspired by the life of George Harrison, who not only gained international fame from his time in The Beatles, but was a dedicated and inspired landscape gardener.
The garden is divided into four areas to represent George’s life story. The area to represent his boyhood years in Liverpool is a small area reflecting the post-war atmosphere. It includes an old child’s bike, rough weedy grass and a reference to his father’s vegetable patch where George’s love of gardening began.
The 60s are represented by colourful planting and textural contrasts reflecting the decade. A huge glass sun with George’s song titles spiralled into the glass is a focal point of this section.
George’s mature gardening years are illustrated by a complete contrast to the 60s and feature a tranquil moss lawn with ferns, grasses and white-stemmed birches.
The final section, George’s spiritual life, is accessed via a narrow rill of water. The planting is predominantly white and red and as scented as possible. The area features an ornate pavilion with decorative hangings, furniture and cushions, as well as two trees, large shrubs, roses, perennials and grasses.
Linking each area is a path, which changes in colour and texture as you progress along it.
