Yet again we have discovered a Chelsea Flower Shower gold medallist. This concept shed has massive possibilities, even at this early stage, and the development potential is there for all to see. The boss doesn't share my enthusiasm, I think she'd rather swivel the turret at it and use her new laser rangefinder.
So, in 'judge speak', which boxes does it tick?
We feel it covers recycling, art, colour in the landscape, weathering, patination, wild gardens, a home for animals, insects and birds and obviously practical usage as a shed. Plus, and here's the unexpected bonus; a crop of elderflowers and elderberries for wine and jelly!
Then there's the use of unfashionable corrugated iron, well it's not unfashionable any more, it's right back where it belongs. The clincher is the staggeringly original use of shrubbery and wild plants to hold it upright-ish whilst maintaining the bent knee 'look' as it pays homage to mother nature. An indoors and outdoors wild garden.
In the distance is a tantalising glimpse of a foxy little Nissen Hut and, just for good measure, the door is painted West Norfolk 'Bog Door Blue' from the Two Terriers range of heritage colours.
