My first noteworthy pool was my show garden at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2001. Called 'A Swimming Pond' it was the first time a natural swimming pool had been seen in the UK by most people.
It was an immediate success helped by the heatwave London was experiencing that week, and many members of the public were encouraged to jump in and experience it for themselves, one lady took the plunge complete with floral dress and hat on, even though a swimming costume was on offer, she soon dried out in the sun.
The RHS judges gave us their verdict too, a RHS Gold medal and The Tudor Rose Award for all our efforts.
