The Viking Cruises Nordic Lifestyle Garden has won a silver medal at this year’s RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.

Designed by Stephen Hall, the garden is inspired by the Nordic landscape and the relationship between nature and wellbeing.

It celebrates traditional Nordic wellbeing rituals and includes traditional plants and herbs with medicinal benefits that are used in Scandinavian cooking.

This is the fourth garden that Hall has designed at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, and his second medal win for Viking, following the cruise line’s Scandinavian Garden at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2016.

Hall said: “I’m extremely proud to have been a part of this project, and would like to thank everyone involved, from the plant suppliers, the contractors and the team at Viking involved in its creation. It’s been a labour of love.”

Wendy Atkin-Smith, managing director, Viking UK, added: “The garden explores the various dimensions of wellbeing, enjoying the therapeutic effects of interacting with nature, eating well, and living well.

“Viking’s homeland is Scandinavia, and in his design Stephen has incorporated the lifestyle, food and culture that have influenced Viking’s design and ethos profoundly since day one perfectly.”

The garden will be showcased at the Hampton Court Show from 3-8 July 2018, at plot HC451.
