Hyundai E&C recently announced that 'Garden Whispers', a project created in collaboration with Sungkyunkwan University, has been selected for the show garden category at the 'RHS Flower Shows Wentworth Woodhouse 2025', one of the flower shows organized by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).
The RHS Flower Show in the UK is a world-renowned garden expo boasting over 100 years of history, hosting large festivals in major cities across the UK, including Chelsea and Melbourne.
Among these, the Chelsea Flower Show is considered one of the world's top three garden festivals, alongside Germany's Federal Garden Exhibition and France's Chaumont International Garden Festival. It is the first time a domestic construction company has exhibited at a global garden expo and directly created a garden in Europe.
'Garden Whispers', selected for the Wentworth Woodhouse Flower Show, is a work created in collaboration between Professor Choi Hye-young from Sungkyunkwan University and Chief Choi Yeong-gil from Hyundai E&C.
This garden, inviting visitors to a poetic landscape of nature through white pillars arranged in various heights, features a tranquil resting space and vibrant herbaceous flowers harmonizing within a rhythmically undulating three-dimensional silhouette. Notably, some elements of the garden's walls and seating incorporate sustainability considerations through 3D printing technology using recycled plastic.
Hyundai E&C also showcased a writer's garden titled 'Library & Garden', in collaboration with Professor Choi Hye-young, at the Olympic Park Foreon Complex site completed last year. This garden, characterized by white pillars and rugged natural materials, provides a serene space for healing and reflection amid a bustling urban environment, while 'Garden Whispers' serves as its sequel.
The Flower Show featuring 'Garden Whispers' takes place at Wentworth Woodhouse in South Yorkshire, England, a Baroque-style mansion built in the 18th century. It is regarded as one of the most splendid and grand architectural works from the Georgian era in England. The 87-acre garden and grounds feature a beautiful garden that includes a deer park and a lake, managed as a national heritage site in England.
The RHS Flower Show Wentworth Woodhouse 2025 will be held for five days from July 16 to 20. A现场审查和颁奖典礼将庆祝参展作品。
Hyundai E&C plans to replicate 'Garden Whispers' at the D.H. Bangbae site, which is set to be completed next year.
Chief Choi Yeong-gil from Hyundai E&C noted, 'It is an honor to introduce Hyundai E&C's distinctive landscape design at a globally top-tier garden exhibition,' adding, 'I am pleased that the landscape efforts Hyundai E&C has dedicated for a long time are recognized as an artwork.'
