We’re delighted to be taking part in British Flowers Week 2025, a celebration of British-grown flowers and the creative talent behind them, held in the heart of London at the beautifully atmospheric Garden Museum.
From the 4th-8th of June, six floral designers have been invited to transform the museum’s 14th-century building with immersive, large-scale installations created entirely with seasonal, UK-grown flowers. We’re honoured to be among them, alongside Arthur Parkinson, Leigh Chappell, Palais London, Rollo Skinner, and Yeon Hee Lee. Each contributor, selected to reflect the diverse, vibrant world of British floral design.
This year’s installations take inspiration from Cecil Beaton’s Garden Party, the museum’s current exhibition exploring Beaton’s lifelong love of flowers and gardens. Our own design draws from his mastery of theatrical photography and illusion, offering a contemporary interpretation of ancient holy springs - sacred water sources that have been venerated for thousands of years.
We were honoured to welcome Her Majesty Queen Camilla to the Garden Museum during British Flowers Week. She admired the installation and remarked on its beautiful scent and striking design, making the moment all the more special.
The installation is made up of glimmering floral fountains on pedestals, touches of silver leaf that cascade into pools of lush greenery, and jewel-toned, water-sustained flowers. Each element is carefully composed to reflect Beaton’s flair for vignettes, inviting the viewer to experience the scene from multiple perspectives. As light filters through the museum’s stained-glass windows, the silver surfaces shift and shimmer, creating a tableau that changes subtly throughout the day.
The pools are formed with living plants, including English eucalyptus, moss, cardoons, ferns, iris, grasses, philadelphus and rambling roses, creating a dynamic installation that evolves over time. All materials are reusable or compostable, using no floral foam, and everything has been created using sustainable methods. Living plants will continue their lifecycle in our studio garden or be returned to nature via COM:POST.
The holy spring represents renewal - a quiet nod to the sacred relationship between water and plant life. Beaton’s influence lives in the composition and theatricality, but the installation is rooted in the present moment, in a celebration of beauty, nature, and the transformative power of flowers.
The museum is open daily from 10am–5pm, with a special Late Night and florist panel talk on Thursday 5th June.
