Medal winners at the Chelsea Flower Show 2009

Chelsea Flower Show: The Daily Telegraph Garden

This garden fuses a modern, relaxed Swedish style with traditional English elements. It combines architecture with garden design, mixing the artistry of the traditional cottage garden with the discipline of Swedish modernism.

Chelsea Flower Show: Perfume Garden

Four hundred years ago, Elizabeth I ordered a perfume to be specially created for her. The Perfume Garden represents an olfactory journey through time, from that early perfume to the modern day.

Chelsea Flower Show: The Fenchurch Garden
Most creative award: The Fenchurch garden
A simple garden for sitting in, a green escape. The garden represents an awkward space, one with overwhelming boundary walls and limited planting space. Large structural concrete forms divide the garden into distinct areas.

This theatrical garden is a light-hearted look at the life of a traditional Fen Tiger who practices the ancient art of alchemy. It feeds off the myths and mystery which surround the Fens.
