Re: Chelsea Garden : Space-inspired garden takes top prize

http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEM70N9RR1F_index_0.html

Sarah Eberle, designer of "600 Days with Bradstone," consulted with ESA human spaceflight experts to perfect her award-winning garden.

Her garden, intended to realistically model what might be used in a future human habitation on Mars, won a Gold Medal last week at the Chelsea Flower Show, operated by the UK's Royal Horticultural Society.

"600 Days with Bradstone" was also named 'Best Show Garden' at the show, one of the UK's most prestigious gardening events.


The terrestrial space garden, situated within a domed habitat as part of an imagined future human mission on Mars, is intended to provide astronauts with edible products, medicinal remedies, regenerated air and water, and vital psychological support during an assumed 600-day mission.
