SHOW GARDENS

Inspired by a study tour of China’s Guangzhou area, the Guangzhou Garden features a woodland dell, which will be planted with trees that are proven to remove airborne pollution particles, and includes a pool of water and bamboo structures. Trees used will include dawn redwood, Scots pine, field maple and birch, with a woodland edge planting consisting of euphorbias, sedges, rodgersia and angelica, to create a drifting wave of green.

The final Show), the national plant of Russia, will provide groundcover.
