Columbus’s quest to discover a western trade route to the exotic spice ports in the East Indies, led to the discovery of tropical islands in the Caribbean that became known as the West Indies. Despite the variety of architectural and design influences from Europe, there are several indigenous design elements that are iconic to these islands. Woven cane and rattan furnishings were airy and light in this humid, tropical environment. Gauzy fabrics, sun-baked colors, and louvered shutters were hallmarks. Heavy woods, like Mahogany, held up well in the tropics, and rich dark finishes were common. Islanders used tropical motifs in their furniture carvings – palm fronds, pineapples, and other island flora.

Members involved in the creation of BALI’s Tatton Park show garden are celebrating the Silver-Gilt medal awarded to the garden today by the RHS judging panel. Months of planning by the garden’s designer, Belinda Belt, and the efforts of the team of BALI members who assisted with its construction, have finally paid off. ‘Vogue’ is a contemporary garden that was inspired by Belinda's passion for beautiful perfumes and fashion, and in particular the fashion designer Roberto Cavalli who was her muse during the design process. "The design resembles the set of a fashion show, with a feature wall, stage, and a catwalk-style walkway through the centre of the garden created in chic paving" explains Belinda. "For the planting I have chosen six stunning semi-mature trees, under-planted with elegant grasses threaded through with perennials." Belinda project managed the garden’s construction, which was undertaken by BALI contractors Greenbelt Landscapes with assistance from Butler Landscapes, Turf n Earth and students from Myerscough College, Preston. BALI Affiliate members answered the call of the Association’s Sponsorship Officer, Diane McCulloch, and generously supplied the following products: • London Stone - All natural stone used in the design, including the main stone feature - one huge piece, 100mm thick, weighing over a ton and 'stencilled' with a water-cut flower design; • Crowders Nurseries - Plants and six semi-mature trees; • Landscapeplus - Mood and accent lighting bringing the garden to life as dusk falls. The central stone feature is highlighted and the canopy of each tree accentuated with up-lighters; • Gordon Low Products –Pond and aquatic materials; • Green-tech – Compost and mulches; • Kilsaran UK - Render products; • IOTA Garden & Home - Two chic, black planted troughs; • Johnsons of Whixley - Additional nursery stock; • Lindum Turf - Exhibition turf and lawn turf for edging the complete garden. 'Vogue' was designed as an adult space in which to relax and unwind with nothing more than the sound of the trees and grasses swaying in the breeze. Requiring minimal maintenance, it is the perfect garden for busy professionals. Commenting on the garden’s Silver-Gilt medal, Belinda said: “I am delighted that our efforts have been rewarded and proud that the garden is representing the outstanding workmanship of BALI members and the wonderful products supplied by our BALI Affiliates. I hope that visitors to the show will love the garden and always associate the BALI logo with quality and professionalism. If that’s the outcome from winning a Silver-Gilt medal then it will all have been worthwhile.”
