The Gavin Jones Garden of Corian

Designer Philip Nash elevates DuPont™ Corian® to new heights of horticultural design.
Sinuous formability, stone-like strength, intriguing colours, a petal-silky finish... DuPont™ Corian® finds its place in a garden environment with natural style. The vision of contemporary garden designer Philip Nash brought together a stylish synthesis of flora, natural elements and man-made ingenuity in an innovative, show-stopping garden at the 2008 RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The key structural features of the design, such as the walkway, terrace, seating area and waterwall, explored the versatility and performance of DuPont™ Corian® in fresh and exciting applications, opening up a landscape of new opportunities to garden designers everywhere.
