Our look at shedlike structures at this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show continues with the A Letter from a Million Years Past from
Korean artist Jihae
Hwang whose garden's important message is all about stopping landscape destruction
for the benefit of people, plants and places via an evocation of the Jiri Mountains in South Korea, home to1,500 species of native Korean plants that have
medicinal value, many of which have been threatened with extinction.
The central point of the garden will be a traditional Korean herb
drying tower, crafted by Alex Gibbons from Cumbria. Alex is one of the
remaining craftspeople in the UK who creates earth-buildings, using mud,
straw and sand to build bespoke creations. The tower references similar
buildings in South Korea, used to dry and store herbs.
At the end of the show, some of the plants from the garden will be
donated to the Maggie’s Centre in Nottingham.
