Inspired by nature’s power to regenerate, this woodland landscape will be interspersed with stone platforms and huge burnt timber sculptures representing natural rock formations. Populated by pioneering plants and jewel-like flowers, the landscape has been colonised by trees and ferns and primordial Equisetum and Restios giving the garden an ancient quality. Water pours from hand-crafted spouts into a series of pools and streams trickling down through the garden alongside a staircase of vast stone platforms before ending in a tranquil pool. Gravel paths wind through the predominantly green planting to a number of gathering places and viewpoints.
