This garden has been designed as a space to retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and practice yoga. It has been created for a single woman who loves travelling and exciting new places and is fond of Southern India, and so the planting has been chosen to create an exotic, tropical feel.

The decked platform is the perfect spot for yoga. The garden has been built with environmental concerns in mind; the pool and planting have been designed to encourage wildlife, and the Horsham stone has been sourced locally, ensuring that the garden’s carbon footprint is kept to a minimum.
 

Expert commentary by Chris Young, The Garden

The garden features nice paving detail with ‘on-edge’ York Stone pieces among the gravel, and the same stones used for the stepping stones. More stone is interlayed in the wooden deck, which is a nice detail.
