I've just put the final screw into the shade canopy I'm creating for a garden at the Chelsea Flower Show. It's for Thrive, a charity that uses gardening to change the lives of disabled people. The garden has been designed by an award winning garden designer - Jo Thompson.
The canopy offers people protection from the sun, yet retains an aura of changeable, magical light. A double-layered system allows light to pass through laser-cut patterned holes in the outer layer, diffusing onto a secondary translucent layer. Like all my canopies, it's designed in a modular way so it can 'grow' to the size of the space - in this case, a bench seat area.
I'm installing it on Friday. Then, all we need is some sun!
