WIN A VIP VISIT TO HAMPTON COURT PALACE FLOWER
SHOW
Widex, the leading Danish hearing aid manufacturer, is
offering an exclusive prize – a VIP visit to the stunning Hampton
Court Palace Flower Show 2008.
‘The Widex Hearing Garden – celebrating sound’ will be the
first garden created at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show to be
designed around enjoying the sounds found in gardens. The Hearing
Garden is designed by Selina Botham, sponsored by Danish hearing aid
manufacturer Widex and supported by the Association of Independent
Hearing Healthcare Professionals.
The Widex Hearing Garden also includes some key features including
another first for Hampton Court - an interactive ‘Listening Wall’ –
where visitors will be able to listen to garden sounds. Its purpose
is to help visitors understand their hearing ability and to
celebrate the pleasure it brings them. The garden will also include
a water feature and sound sculptures.
This garden explores the important contribution sound makes to our
natural environment and the enjoyment people get from their hearing
sense. It also highlights how gardens can be experienced on another
sensory level by being attuned to the ‘sound-scape’ all around.
As people’s hearing diminishes some lose the auditory richness and
texture this ‘sound-scape’ provides. However, many hearing impaired
people describe enjoying nature’s sounds again – birdsong, leaves
rustling in the wind – when they first wear the latest digital
hearing aids.
The design will represent a typical sub-urban courtyard garden and
provide an al fresco retreat in which the rhythms of the garden can
be enjoyed. The atmosphere of the garden is intended to be relaxing
and happy.
Garden designer Selina Botham, of Designs for All Seasons, says she
was inspired by the fact that people do not always appreciate the
sounds around them. “Being in a garden, immersed in a full sensory
experience is one of the great pleasures of life,” she said. “I hope
my design will help people to appreciate and celebrate those every
day sounds that are so important in our enjoyment of the world
around us.”
Hampton Court Palace Flower Show runs from 8 - 13 July 2008. Further
