Nolan? The studio? The US government? All I know is that as well as Murphy being gagged by hefty NDAs, I am not allowed to see it (“bit unfortunate”, he concedes). It’s not clear who issued these instructions. Which is awkward when you’ve flown to his home in Ireland to interview him specifically about playing the physicist who oversaw the creation of the atomic bomb, later detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Murphy is under “strict instructions” not to talk about the content. It’s about association rather than actually getting down on the path.Cillian Murphy is struggling with what he can and can’t say about his title role in Oppenheimer, the latest Christopher Nolan epic, such is the secrecy surrounding this film. Anyway, moving swiftly on, figs and pomegranate …īecause? Because figs and pomegranates are sexy, right? And, instead of gravel, she has used crushed whelk and oyster shells. Isn’t opium a class A drug? It’s more about the feeling and mood than actually encouraging drug use. So, there’s myrtle because myrtle trees were planted around Aphrodite’s temple and jasmine, because in India jasmine is put in the bedrooms of newlyweds to get them in the mood and opium poppies, because, says Knittel, “apparently when you do opium, sex is absolutely amazing”.

Plants that are said to have aphrodisiac properties or are linked to love, sex and erotica.

They can really get you in the mood as well.” “Our message is that gardens are not just for picking flowers. “We wanted to move away from the idea of gardens being twee, we want to make gardens sensual and sexy,” said Knittel. What exactly is the idea behind Aphrodite’s Garden? Temptation, really.

And the Garden of Eden – apples and serpents, not a lot of kit on, seduction … Think Monty Don plunging his hands into a bag of moist compost …

I’m just wondering if the RHS set is ready for that? You’d be surprised. It’s called Aphrodite’s Garden.Īfter the Greek goddess of love? Correct. Along with three other female designers, Knittel will be unveiling what they say is the “ultimate erotic garden” at the RHS Hampton Court Palace festival this week. “We hope that this beautiful garden will help people to talk about sex in a very positive way.” There is nothing taboo about sex, says Sophie Knittel.

And, now that summer is here, the birds and the bees are doing their thing out there, the sap is rising, the flowers are bursting out … I am thinking about it now! Not just you 40% of Britons are getting jiggy out of doors apparently.
