James wong and David Cubero have won a Silver Medal at Chelsea on their first attempt !

David Cubero, born in the Canarias, creating this garden has been a true labour of love.

David's mission is to encourage Canarian designers to discover their own unique identity and celebrate their rich local flora and other-worldly landscape.

"Our garden is inspired by the rugged, volcanic landscapes and bizarre, unique flora of the Canary Island Archipelago.
The garden aims to introduce visitors to a forgotten face of the islands, transporting them through steaming thermal spring water, black laval rock and towering palm trees, to experience a glimpse of the unique native flora of this remote island chain."

To achieve this James and David partnered with Realstone who supplied the superb flamed Silver Star Black Bassalt and the stunning cream Portland stonework. Cornish slate in the bottom of the 'thermal rock pools' completed the picture.
