RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2007: Cork, a versatile and sustainable product, has been harvested for centuries in an environmentally friendly process during which not a single tree is cut down.

The Suber Garden was designed to highlight the threat to Mediterranean cork forests and to demonstrate unconventional uses for this versatile material. A cork tree (Quercus Suber) forms a central part of the design, while cork derivatives were used in the bench, wall art and what is possibly the largest cork bowl in the world!
