Kebony selected for Quiet Mark Treehouse and Garden by John Lewis at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower show

The aptly titled Quiet Mark Treehouse and Garden by John Lewis will be on display at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show, from July 8 – 13th July. Set against the spectacular back-drop of the palace and surrounded by the 34 acres of gardens, the show will offer 130,000 visitors the chance to experience the magic of the treehouse; an ethereal haven which takes inspiration from nature and the outdoors.

The treehouse is built from Kebony, a sustainable alternative to tropical hardwood and toxic treated timber. The technology behind the wood is an innovative process that enhances the properties of sustainable softwood species to give them similar characteristics to tropical hardwoods. It is designed by Blue Forest, the world''s leading luxury treehouse and eco-home builders for Quiet Mark and John Lewis. Blue Forest create treehouses which reflect the environment in which they are built, aiming to bring people closer to the natural world and the great outdoors, with environmental credentials and sustainability a key consideration in all of their designs.

A not-for-profit organisation, Quiet Mark is the international mark of approval from the UK''s Noise Abatement Society, encouraging the design of quieter high performance technology and solutions to reduce unwanted noise in our environment. The Quiet Mark Treehouse and Gardens by John Lewis will offer personal sound-portraits for visitors and a Wild Sanctuary animal soundscape.

The RHS aims to encourage visitors to spend more time in the great outdoors. A thoroughly British establishment, the summer festival celebrates outdoor living and provides ideas for visitors to replicate in their own gardens. This year''s show will focus on the themes of ‘Grow, inspire and escape'' and the treehouse will reinforce these ideas, creating for its occupants a sense of proximity to nature and total detachment from the noise of the world.
