Plant List

The planting is dominated by a grove of tall trees which bring height to the space and cover the garden in a light canopy which allows light to dapple through. Below, planting is randomised in billowing clumps and associations set within gravel and occasional paving.

The planting scheme aims to create a transitory quality. The elegant planting is muted in colour, with bright flecks dotted throughout to reflect the bright points in life.

Plants have been chosen for the vertical interest in their stems with flower transparency to capture light, movement and density. Some rougher textured plants are also included to reflect life’s difficulties.
