Silver-GiltThe Sleep in Beauty Garden at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival is Tythorne Garden Design and Pickwell Paving’s second show garden, and follows on from our debut at RHS Malvern in 2024. This is a garden for relaxation, featuring a king-sized bed which serves as a luxurious day bed or the perfect spot to spend the night outside in comfort.
Celebrating sustainable choices
The garden celebrates sustainable choices, with reclaimed, recycled and repurposed materials taking centre stage. The structure over the bed is made from end-of-life scaffolding boards, as is the majority of the boundary screen. Reclaimed industrial stillages have been repurposed as raised beds and to create a simple water feature. Strips of natural stone (cut from damaged and waste stone) provide a beautiful and functional path to link the various areas of the garden. The same stone has been used to create two decorative wall panels and a bespoke bench seat. Any remaining offcuts of the stone have been crushed to form an attractive (and permeable) gravel surface. Sustainability is also apparent with the recycled acrylic ‘star gazing’ panels above the bed, and the weather-resistant curtains hanging on three sides of the overhead structure which have been produced from recycled boat sails.
