Tartan Potager

This winning entry for the 8th International Garden Festival at Chaumont-sur-Loire, France was created with Frazer McNaughton and Lumir Soukup. The design takes the form of a tartan potager, reflecting the theme of the festival ‘Rien que de potagers’.

The subtle plaid was made of intersecting bands of white cabbage, red cabbage, curly kale, shallots, ruby chard and scarlet salvias.

Contrasting mulches of seaweed and mussel shells helped to reinforce the pattern. A viewing frame, composed of wire baskets filled with objects selected by friends and associates, provided a less clichéd image of Scotland.
