Explanation:
'A Clockwork Garden' at Antrim Castle Gardens, designed by Diarmuid Gavin, comes to life every 15 minutes when trees will dance and many other elements turn and move. A similar 'show garden', designed by Diarmuid Gavin for the Chelsea Flower Show won awards and drew 1000's of spectators and huge critical acclaim. This garden will be one of its kind to be installed permanently in this location.
The Chelsea Flower Show is delivered by the Royal Horticultural Society with the Queen and other members of the Royal Family attending the event annually. In the Queen's Platinum Jubilee year this is a unique way to link the 'Clockwork Garden' proposal with the Platinum Jubilee and the Queen's Garden Canopy with 'Dancing Trees for the Jubilee' and provide a lasting legacy to mark this significant occasion. Only one supplier, Diarmuid Gavin meets this brief.
