Planting
Planting combines native plants that would have been common at the time, with decorative varieties that would have been introduced in later years. Herb expert Jekka McVicar has grown a number of specialist varieties especially for the garden, all of which would have been used both as medicine and food by those living there. Included amongst these, Wild Angelica, used as a vegetable until the 20th century and taken as a medicine to treat ailments such as scurvy; Sanguisorba, better known as Salad Burnet, one of the staple herbs to travel across the Atlantic with the Pilgrim Fathers; and Tanacetum, sometimes known as Bachelor’s Button or Feverfew, which is still used to treat migraines today.

Other key plants include Verbascum, Buxus and Reseda that feature alongside three different trees, including two Copper Beach trees reflecting the trees in the existing parkland.
Rupert Tyler, National Director at Brewin Dolphin said: “Paul Hervey-Brookes has a unique talent for creating beautiful and captivating gardens. The concept behind the Brewin Dolphin Installation is fascinating and it’s particularly exciting to be creating something that has such a direct link to the Chatsworth Estate itself. Interestingly, the vilIage dates back to the same moment in time that Brewin Dolphin was founded, in the 1700s, and the idea of taking values from the past and preserving them for the future perfectly reflects our own principles. I’m sure our clients and visitors to the show will be fascinated by the story and that they will enjoy seeing it bought to life in such a spectacular display.”
The Brewin Dolphin Installation at RHS Chatsworth marks a seven-year relationship with the RHS including five successful years at RHS Chelsea and its inaugural garden at RHS Chatsworth in 2017.
The wealth management company will be showing in the Installations category. Last year it won the People’s Choice Award in the Freeform Category.
