G A R D E N I N G Planting a legacy LICHFIELD GARDEN DESIGNER KAREN TATLOW’S MOON-INSPIRED LEGACY GARDEN, CREATED FOR CANCER RESEARCH UK, WILL GO ON SHOW AT THE RHS MALVERN SPRING FESTIVAL THIS MONTH A SYMBOLIC MOON GATE CONNECTS THE TWO HALVES OF THE GARDEN An award-winning Lichfield garden designer has unveiled plans for the inspirational garden she has created for the RHS Malvern Spring Festival after joining forces with Cancer Research UK. Karen Tatlow, who lives and works in Whittington, took her emotional inspiration for the garden from the story of her own great-niece, Lauren, who felt connected to her grandfather after his death from cancer by looking at the moon. As a result, the moon gate, an architectural feature symbolising renewal and rebirth, is at the heart of 53-year-old Karen’s Cancer Research UK garden. Filled with flowers and plants that have played a part in cancer research, the garden is composed of two halves, linked by the central moon gate. Karen said: “Lauren was extremely close to her grandad, David, who was my brother-in-law. She hated leaving him when they’d spent time together, so he used to tell her that all she had to do was look at the moon and know that he would be looking at it too. That way they would always be connected. “David was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2015 when Lauren was 14. When David died in 2017, looking at the moon made her feel closer to him again. In fact, it has become a symbol of connection to David for the whole family - with each full moon the family Facebook and WhatsApp groups all light up with thoughts of him,” said Karen. Cancer Research UK’s Malvern Legacy Garden is the fourth garden in a series of show gardens that have been designed for the RHS shows. Previous gardens have been hugely successful in winning awards, including gold medals at 2019 RHS Hampton Court, 2021 RHS Hampton Court, and 2021 RHS Tatton Park. The brief for each designer was to create an immersive, contemplative space that symbolises how leaving a gift in a Will to Cancer Research UK ensures research can continue to save lives for generations to come. Karen conceived the idea of using the moon gate to symbolise the hope that legacies can bring. The visitor first travels through one half of the garden which is full of colourful flowers, echoing the blue, pink and purple palette of Cancer Research UK’s 28 www.jaimemagazine.com
