Surrey Hills Landscapes were the contractor for Journey Latin Americas "Inca Garden" for Hampton Court Flower Show in 2016. Dense native tropical foliage surrounds the garden’s entrance and veils a dramatic three-tiered terrace evoking the famous terraces of Machu Picchu. The garden is planted with traditional Inca crops including maize, potato and quinoa, while the intricate stone walling pays homage to the trademark work of highly skilled Inca masons. The sound of falling water creates a peaceful, harmonious atmosphere and completes the four cosmological principles which the Incas believed originated from their goddess Pachamama (Mother Earth): sun, moon, earth and water. This project was deconstructed after the show and all materials were re-used with the planting donated. Designed by Jennifer Jones
