Inspired by the golden sunrise and sunset hours, it features warm hues and amber tones proven to promote relaxation. The wild, loose planting invites you to let go of formality, while tall stems and swaying grasses encourage daydreaming and introspection. A herbal lawn enhances grounding, releasing soothing aromas as you walk. The border is designed around a circular arch signifying the sun, symbolizing renewal, making it a perfect sanctuary for relaxation and reflection after a hard day’s work.
