The planting in the woodland is made up of modern cultivars derived from genera found in the Himalayan region. For the rain garden, water captured from the pergola's roof travels down a rain chain, through a subterranean pipe into the concave rain garden. This planting is water-loving and tolerant of moist soils. The gravel garden area is slightly convex, with drought tolerant plants protected by a gravel mulch. Sustainable materials are used throughout, including local gravel and reclaimed blocks and bricks. The team are excited to be showcasing 'Alive Labs' Terranite panels - a carbon negative bio-receptive material which fuses vegetation (mosses and bryophytes) directly on to architectural surfaces. The recycled steel pergola is inspired by the iconic Nepalese metal water bottles. The garden will help to promote the vital work of The Gurkha Welfare Trust, providing financial, medical and development aid to Gurkha veterans, their families and communities in Nepal.
