Don\u2019t miss our guide to everything you need to know about the\u00a0RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023\u00a0<\/a>and our list this year\u2019s\u00a0main show gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n The late artist and plantsman Sir Cedric Morris<\/a> and his home, Benton End<\/a> in Suffolk, were the inspiration for Sarah Price\u2019s show garden for Nuture Landscapes. \u201cCedric Morris was famous for his flower paintings and iris still lifes. You can see that he really understood the plants, but he was also an incredible gardener, who influenced Beth Chatto. He introduced 90 different cultivars of bearded iris,\u201d says Sarah.<\/p>\n Designer<\/strong> Sarah Price. <\/p><\/div> <\/section> Benton End<\/a> was a bohemian place, where Morris and his partner Arthur Lett-Haines hosted a painting school that tutored the likes of Lucian Freud and Maggi Hambling. Neglected for many years, it is now being restored by the Garden Museum<\/a>, and Sarah is hoping to transfer some of its naturalistic<\/a> spirit to Chelsea. \u201cYou can see that it had so much love,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m also taking inspiration from the plants that Cedric Morris bred \u2013 the moody grey poppies and irises<\/a> with colours that are really hard to describe, such as copper, strange off-yellows and grey-purples. It\u2019s really exciting to have that palette to compose with.\u201d<\/p>\n Sarah was determined to make the show garden low carbon and sustainable. \u201cThe most pragmatic approach is to source locally, reuse and repair,\u201d she explains. To this end, Sarah has sourced all of her materials, many waste or reclaimed, from an \u2018imagined corridor\u2019 linking the Surrey base of her contractor, Crocus, to the showground in Chelsea. Fittingly, many of the materials and plants will find a new home at Benton End after the end of the show.<\/p>\n 1 Richly coloured, straw-cob walls echo the original pigmented plaster and bricks of the 16th-century house at Benton End. \u00a0<\/p>\n Sign up to our Chelsea Flower Show Daily Digest newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n Chelsea Flower Show 2023: tickets, information, dates and what\u2019s on<\/a>![\"""\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/18\/2023\/04\/The-Nurture-Landscapes-Garden-Chelsea-2023-credit-artwork-by-Sarah-Price-Landscapes-6652078.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C306"\" "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
