The garden is for those who love fun and theatre in a garden setting. Steel boundaries provide a backdrop to vibrant and colourful planting. Corten steel moongates draw the eye through the centre of the garden over the pool towards the surrounding plants and decorative sunburst. Bursts of colour run throughout the planting areas, flowing from electric blues to fiery reds from droughttolerant perennials such as Agapanthus, Helenium, Verbena, Achillea and Salvia.
