The centrepiece of this garden is the canal and lock gates, a massive undertaking that links the themes that inspired this garden from Leeds City Council. Parks and green spaces are important to the residents of Leeds. The city celebrates its industrial heritage whilst creating green corridors - linking these areas where people can walk and enjoy the fresh air. Their Chelsea garden reflect this as the central lock gates of the garden are a walkway linking an area of natural planting to a contrasting urban space on the other side.

To one side a mixed floral meadow of colourful and varied planting is backed by native birch trees. The woodland floor is carpeted with bluebells and wild garlic, the meadow with cowslips and the frothy heads of cow parsley. All the hard landscaping elements are recycled. Paths are made of Yorkstone and crushed sandstone and the back of the garden is built on gabions filled with recycled material.

鈥淭he HESCO Garden 2010 is the largest show garden ever entered at Chelsea by Leeds City Council," explains Martin Walker. "Building and moving the lock gates, which weigh one and a half tonnes each and are made from green oak by our own joiners, was the biggest challenge in bringing this garden to Chelsea.鈥�

What will happen to the garden after the show?

The garden will be re-built in Leeds at Roundhay Park, to be enjoyed by local residents and visitors. Any surplus plants will go to parks across Leeds.
