BEHIND THE SCENE – CHATSWORTH
DIETRO LE QUINTE ? CHATSWORTH
Behind the scenes of popular designers are gardeners. Their work has been and is essential to any design but often forgotten. Chatsworth Park is an example of how many people have worked over the years to reach this result, regardless of the style of the revolutionary thinkers of the times. Great work is represented by great hands; they are made of hay, with wildflowers bursting forth at their wrists in honor of Chatsworth’s farming tradition and as a link to the present fashionable ecological design style, that requires more practical knowledge of wild plant communities such as grasslands.
The only tree – ready to be planted close to its planting hole – is an English oak as a symbol of the ancient trees in the park and of the month when the show takes place: in the tree calendar the oak month begins on the 10th of June.
