Watch the video, and take a look round the Green Room garden set up by a Windsor firm. The RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show - it's one of the places where BBC Radio Berkshire's gardening guru Colin Evans feels most at home. But would you feel at home if your car suddenly disappears from your driveway? One of the displays that Colin and presenter Nicki Whiteman came across was a remarkable futuristic design, in which a Porsche slowly descends underground and reveals a delightful little water feature. And no it's not a Paul Daniels magic trick. "If you ever win the lottery this is the kind of thing you want," said Nicki.

"Visitors will be taken on a journey to discover and explore a transitional space that can be partitioned to provide a comfortable safe haven for a good night's sleep, but can also be opened up to provide an inspirational space to entertain and enjoy nature."
