‘The Journey of Life’ garden was a meditative pool created with Halo seating. Other stand out features included ‘Rainbow Sun’, a shimmering wall of sparkling acrylic, and the Ancient Olive tree that represented an old soul and grew out of artificial rocks that looked surreal. There was also refined Niwaki (giant Bonsai). Technology was integral in the high-tech atrium and three hydroponic salad towers. All in, it was a wonderland of colour, technology and rare art forms. The high definition of the CGI image was loved by the RHS, BBC and many news media as a means to promote the amazing spectacle to be seen at the flower show.  The garden itself brought people to tears with the positive message of hope and the images got visitors really motivated to come to see the garden because they could clearly visualise what to expect without using their imagination.
