Life to Life: a Garden for George
This year's Chelsea Flower Show featured a very
special tribute to the life, music and philosophy
of George Harrison: 'From Life to Life, A Garden
For George'.
The garden, which was designed by Yvonne Innes
in collaboration with Olivia Harrison, and sponsored
by The Material World Charitable Foundation, colorfully
depicts George's journey from the material to
the spiritual world.
"George himself was an immensely talented and passionate gardener", Olivia Harrison said of the garden's inspiration. "As George dedicated his autobiography "to gardeners everywhere' we do the same along with love and gratitude to George for the music, gardens and thoughtful legacy he left behind."
The website chronicles the journey
of building the garden, from concept design to exhibition
at the Chelsea Flower Show. Through vivid photos
and video, you can watch George's garden spring
to life before your eyes. "The comments from our
co-exhibitors and from the general public were fabulous,"
said designer Yvonne Innes. "For Olivia and I, it
was exactly as I had drawn it and exactly as we
had hoped it would be - a perfect tribute to George
the Gardener." We hope you will enjoy. Visit
