Caroline Wesseling Landscapes were the successful applicants and have put together the garden and design elements for "The Outdoor Living Room" featuring elements showcasing the Extra Care Total Repair 19 product range.
Garden Objective

Schwarzkopf Garden, "An Outdoor Living Space"
Winner of the Silver Award
Ellerslie International Flower Show 2006
This modern, innovative, outdoor living space has been designed to emphasize and reflect the qualities ofthe "Extra Care Total Repair 19" range of hair treatment products by Schwarzkopf.
The garden epitomizes the Schwarzkopf values for their new, innovative, smart, futuristic range of home treatment products, designed to cleanse condition, repair and strengthen hair.
The overall look of the garden is minimalist and geometric in nature, using modern, reflective products to showcase the health, shine and strength of hair after using the Schwarzkopf products.
The garden showcases innovative products not usually seen in a garden, such as the zinc-titanium cladding on the back wall, the polyethylene industrial divan (sofa), mirrors and stainless steel water sculpture, along with minimalist, modern, xerophytic (low water use) easily propagated planting to reflect the brand of Schwarzkopf, its ideals and values.
Imagery used:
*Aeonium Schwarzkopf is used to reinforce the brand name
*Zinc-titanium shingles the innovative new product.
*The sofa reinforces the idea of an outdoor room
*Perspex reveals symbolize the windows of the room
*Mirrors symbolize hair care
*Stainless steel the shine of glossy, healthy hair
*Water symbolizes the cleansing and care of hair.
This outdoor space or room is designed to refresh and revitalize after a busy day. The reflective surfaces of Perspex, stainless steel, mirrors and water, symbolize shiny healthy hair.

“Schwarzkopf Water Sculpture” by Geoff McConnell 
Description
A tall sculptural vessel formed from highly polished stainless steel, its mirrored surface reflecting the surrounding garden and the viewer. Its flowing form increases as it risers from a narrow base to a curving surface at the top, "evocative of a wave of flowing hair". There is no pond; water bubbles from the top and shimmers down the sculptures surface before magically disappearing into the paving at its base.
