Boodles Raindance Garden

The Boodles Raindance Garden commemorates the 25th anniversary of the ‘Raindance’ jewellery collection. Inspired by the impact of water on stone, the garden reflects the style and motifs of the jewellery.

Against the backdrop of lush green ferns, beautiful flowers such as Astrantia ‘Shaggy’ and Paeonia ‘Noémie Demay’ stand out like gemstones.

The garden’s colour palette harmonises with the platinum-coloured steel of the water features and the zinc roof of the custom-designed pavilion. Seating areas provide moments of tranquillity amidst the lush greenery, creating a serene and restful atmosphere.

The domed roof of the Raindance Pavilion channels rainwater into a circular rill at its base, symbolising the ‘dance of rain on water’. This water feature not only adds to the garden’s aesthetic appeal but also contributes to rainwater capture.
