Visitors to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh on Saturday were very much enjoying looking at sheds. Yes, sheds!
The Ideal Hut Show is an open-air installation consisting of 18 off-the-shelf garden sheds reinvented by architects and designers from home and abroad.
Forget the sunshine – sheds were the highlight of the day.
The sheds on show (I can’t believe I just said that) come in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes.
I very much liked this deconstructed one, which is impractical but impressive all the same.
The resident shown here belonged to me and was very excited about the possibility of having her own shed one day.
Upon leaving I overheard one inspired visitor say, ‘When I get home I’m going to paint my shed’.
Don’t shed a tear if you missed it – get down to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh before Monday 30 May.—Rhys Fullerton
