Show Garden Profile

Diapason of Colour
Designer: Caspian Robertson
Contractor: Surrey Gardens

This garden has been inspired by the pure and ideal harmonies described by the classical philosophers Pythagoras and Plato as embodying the perfect golden ratio.  This principle, evident throughout the natural world, is the foundation for Newton’s colour wheel, Goethe’s philosophy, modern chemistry’s law of the octave and aspects of string theory.

The garden displays the colour spectrum as an octave in a design drawn from Pythagorean geometric theory.  Pythagoras observed that all pleasing ratios correspond to the universal principle of the octave, reflecting naturally occurring proportions in mathematics, music, plant physiology and colours.  Tones of foliage and flowers progress across the visible light spectrum, with iron disks and bars denoting wavelength relationships.

After the show, the garden is being rebuilt at the Music Mind Spirit Trust and will open for charity as part of the NGS scheme.
