Psalm 27 becomes a garden at RHS Young Designer of the Year competition
Bible Society is excited to be sponsoring a garden based on Psalm 27 at the prestigious RHS Young
Designer of the Year competition at the RHS Flower Show Tatton Park in July.
Young designer Ollie Pike (24) first heard the psalm when attending a funeral. ‘Its hopeful message
was very comforting at a time of sadness,’ he said.
‘The psalm speaks to me of protection and to be hopeful. It gives a feeling of comfort in difficult
moments and to have faith that things will improve.
‘The most comforting line to me is the one about ‘seeing the goodness of the LORD in the land of the
living”. This meant a lot to me, provoking ideas of the beauty in our natural living world and that
there is always comfort to be found in the beauty and calmness of nature.’
When looking for inspiration for the garden, Ollie was drawn back to Psalm 27.
