Building on the success of our eclectic team at previous Royal Horticultural Society shows, we will exhibit a garden in the 'Fresh' category at Chelsea Flower Show 2015 on behalf of the National Schools' Observatory. The garden will provide a dramatic artistic and architectural interpretation of the effect of Dark Matter via gravitational lensing. By approaching one subject (astronomy) through the medium of another (a garden), a different and wider audience is engaged than by following the usual channels. Chelsea Flower Show attracts a huge audience of garden lovers and general public, many of whom would not normally engage with astronomy and astrophysics. The Dark Matter Garden is timed to coincide with the centenary of the publication of Einstein's theory of General Relativity and the European Year of Light in 2015 and is timely, exciting and definitely 'Fresh'.

基于我们不拘一格的团队在之前皇家园艺学会展会上取得的成功，我们将代表国家学校天文台在 2015 年切尔西花卉展上展示“新鲜”类别的花园。该花园将通过引力透镜对暗物质的效果进行戏剧性的艺术和建筑诠释。通过通过另一个主题（天文学）的媒介（花园）来接近一个主题（天文学），与遵循通常的渠道相比，可以吸引不同的、更广泛的受众。切尔西花展吸引了大量花园爱好者和公众观众，其中许多人通常不会参与天文学和天体物理学。暗物质花园恰逢爱因斯坦广义相对论发表一百周年和 2015 年欧洲光年，恰逢其时、令人兴奋且绝对“新鲜”。
