Update on Chaumont Garden Design Concept

Update on Chaumont Garden Design Concept

Here  have compiled work I have been undertaking with my group since the crit.

We have been working closely on form and structure of the space along with the quintessential planting combination which we have finally decided on. This can be seen below in the planing plan.
This planting plan brings up up to and over the allotted budget. As a result a garden focusing on recycling and cheap, rough materials has been created. I'm worried we have neglected the hard landscaping side of the garden and it will fail us and not provide a good backdrop for such a fantastic range of planting.

Time will tell and things will be resolved as each section of the design is discussed in further detail.

I am tasked with the costing and am worried that we are set to go over the allotted budget of 11,000e

Chaumont Garden Design Progression

Chaumont Garden Design Progression 

Please see below some sketches illustrating our design ideas prior to the crit last Wednesday. 

These were produced my my group. We have been experimenting and reviewing various aspects of the design and our ethos since the group crit where our design concept changed drastically. 

I feel that its important to keep a record of the evolution and development of the design as it goes through these preliminary stages. 

Me, Tim and Maria all met up to develop and agree the above design and although its changed I have attached the images to one can see a clear timeline of events through the design process.

Chaumont planting concepts:

Please see attached the background planting and the ornamental planting

the background planting is designed to last year-round with minimal maintenance required. The ornamental planting is delightful in different ways throughout the seasons and will be replaced around the year it is on show at Chaumont. This is just designed to give a taste of the principles and idea direction our group is headed in.
