A self-circulating shower and plunge pool are the key features of this garden, which has been designed for the use of guests at a boutique hotel and day spa. The garden has a relaxed, eclectic feel that is ideal for guests who have just had spa treatments.

A cedar wave is interplanted with a mix of soft grasses and airy herbaceous plants to create a gentle boundary between the hotel and the garden. A small paving pad features a seating slab and a wall inspired by a massage bed, offering guests a place to stop and admire the planting before they pluck up courage to take the plunge into the pool.
