THE DESIGNER
The creative force behind the Finnish garden in the Space to Grow –class is a Finnish landscape designer, horticulturist and environmental biologist Taina Suonio, who is no stranger to British and Irish gardening, having lived 13 years in Northern Ireland and participated in the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for 14 years in a row, working with the leading designers on their Show Gardens (Carol Klein, Andy Sturgeon, Paul Stone, Thomas Hoblyn, Professor Nigel Dunnett and Jo Thompson)…
The garden celebrates and highlights the 40th anniversary of the first convention on the protection of the Baltic Sea Area, known as the Helsinki Convention. It also celebrates the International Year of Plant
Health 2020 (IYPH) which was initiated by Finland and approved by The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UNFAO) in 2017 and declared by the UN General Assembly in December 2018.
Connected, by EXANTE is a cool, calm woodland sanctuary. There’s a space among the tranquillity for people to
connect inside the main feature, a fairytale larger-than-life oak stump. The unusual centrepiece has a skylight roof
encircled by a vegetated edge.
The oak home sanctuary, with charming duckboards leading in and out, is surrounded by layered European
woodland with its serene and limited colours. It is also a chic teleworking oasis with an oak-shaped water feature
window on the back wall. An innovative oak silhouette window on the front provides natural light, a view out and in,
to the water feature window.
Taina Suonio is a renowned Finnish landscape designer and environment biologist. She exhibits her own work in Chelsea Flower Show for the third time. Her Silver-Gilt-winning 2019 design “The Roots in Finland Kyrö Garden” was recycled almost in its entirety and now has a home in the side garden of the Embassy of Finland in London.
