 After the Rain

 [RHS Malvern Spring Festival 2026](https://gardensdb.com/shows/rhs-malvern-spring-festival-2026) - Beautiful Borders

After the Rain
==============

 Border

*After the Rain* is a sculptural, atmospheric border that treats the landscape like a curated installation. At its heart sits a striking multi-stem river birch, it's peeling bark colour links to the bronze sculptures by [sculptor jewellers Yunus & Eliza](https://yunus-eliza.co.uk/) that catch and hold rainwater, adding detail and texture.

 A shallow channel divides the design into wet and dry zones, shaping how water moves and how the planting responds. Moisture-loving plants fill the basin, while tougher, drought-tolerant species line the banks.

The garden demonstrates how practical water management can double as high design, creating a space that feels immersive, resilient, and finely crafted.
