A contemporary twist on an alpine garden, with large stone column-like planters which mimic traditional trough alpine displays, while areas of scree and crevice planting allow for a unique collection of plants to be shown. Alpine species come from areas where the Red Cross has recently provided disaster relief including Morocco, Turkey and the UK. Specimen trees including Pinus cembra (Swiss pine), a nod to the charity’s origin, wrap the landscape while calming mountain streams tumble throughout.
