This garden is based on regeneration after forest fires that can devastate acres of woodland, particularly in the South of This garden is based on regeneration after forest fires that can devastate acres of woodland, particularly in the South of France. Over time, regeneration creates spectacular new growth within a stark burnt landscape.

boulders that form seats.
This garden makes a bold statement, showing nature’s incredible ability to regenerate and the beauty that exists in burnt-out landscapes.
