1 LAND FORMS
Garden design by Matt Keightley, Rosebank
Sculpture is not limited to artefacts, the landscape itself can be sculpted to achieve aesthetic and functional goals. Matt Keightley says he ‘deliberately designed the sculpted organic landform shapes to slow down the pace of passage in RHS Wisley’s Wellbeing Garden. We’ve embraced nature throughout the contemporary design: the trees themselves become focal points – raised on vast, sculpted grass and stone podiums, they draw you through the garden. At ground level, Ben Barrell’s accomplished are elegant, robust, ergonomically pleasing, a destination, a talking point, providing a place to sit or scramble, working art which sits so comfortably in the garden’s context.’
