James Latham is once again involved in the acclaimed Chelsea Flower Show - this year the company is supporting two gardens with sustainable timber and plywood.
 
The first garden has been created by award winning garden designer Tom Stuart-Smith and is sponsored by the Daily Telegraph. It is a minimal, asymmetric garden with materials, surfaces and planting of rich patina and texture. It is enclosed on two sides by alternating sections of hornbeam hedge and pre-rusted steel wall which provides the contrast between permanence and transience. 
 
Lathams has provided weathered sustainable oak boarding to provide an earth-derived character to the scheme, which is inspired by a Norfolk beach scene.
 
To mark its involvement in the garden, Lathams will receive a mention in the Daily Telegraph garden supplement, along with a logo on the board at the front of the garden.
 
The second garden is in the ‘Chic’ category and has been created by Jo Penn and sponsored by the Mitie Group. The garden has been designed to reflect the phenomenon of global warming and is a low maintenance city garden designed with sustainability and modern living in mind.

Lathams has provided FSC birch plywood to create the structure around which the garden will be created. Jo Penn comments, “I’m very excited about this project as Chelsea is such a prestigious show, and I’m delighted that Lathams have agreed to support us with product - especially as they have got such good environmental credentials which fits perfectly with the theme of the garden.”
