Ocean to a Garden - A Geological Odyssey
The garden represents an exploration of the relationship between a lost ocean and the evolution of the Italian landscape. The geological history of the country has been a violent one. Over the centuries, ocean floor plate tectonic activity and volcanic eruptions have both conjured new land into existence and fl ooded inhabited landscapes.
We are proud to be involved in TESTI FRATELLI’s garden, as it highlights the issues close to our business philosophy. We consider this design to be very important in driving the gardens at Chelsea to another level. This has allowed us to design a state of the art water system using 100% recycled water and an LED solution to the lighting system, highlighting the two main elements of the garden: Water and Light.

Simply Italian comment on H2O at Chelsea
We are very pleased to have been able to rely on the services of H2O for our garden, which is very challenging, not least because of the complex water features. The advice offered by H2O has proved invaluable in the design and construction of the garden. We have also relied on H2O for their advice on the best ways of lighting the garden, to create a dramatic space at night. H2O have exceeded our expectations with their professionalism and expertise.
