It Doesnt Have to Cost The Earth

It Doesnt Have to Cost The Earth
Like many gardens in modern housing developments across the UK, this garden addresses the importance of restoring wildlife habitats affected by property construction. The rich hues and earthy tones of the planting complement the contemporary and reclaimed materials used throughout the space, drawing inspiration from the surrounding environment. The muted tones are interspersed by bursts of vibrant colour to attract birds and insects. In the garden stands a central Corten steel helix sculpture, used as a pergola, for visitors to sit and enjoy the garden, as well as a striking piece of artwork itself. Below ground, innovative construction methods and materials prioritise conservation. The garden is created with minimal disruption to the earth and focuses on soil health and building biodiversity to nurture a thriving garden that supports local wildlife.
