A graceful and relaxing space, the planting uses a broad mixture of textures. A short gravel pathway leads to a small seating area set beneath one of the specimen trees. A place for momentary quiet and reflection and a space which boosts wellbeing and encourages wildlife. Functionally, the planting helps to capture carbon from the atmosphere. Dried and cut bamboo poles act as slow-release rainwater storage vessels, with various heights and widths to echo the urban skyline. A birdbath encourages therapeutic interest with water for calm and a wildlife connection.
