Andrew Loudon is a dry stone walling master craftsman. The centre of the garden is a stone sphere, sitting opposite a negative image of itself, recessed into a slate stone wall. A curved path winds up to a small seat, positioned on a pebble mosaic. All this is surrounded by dense herbaceous planting.
With springtime woodland planting, this garden is designed to be a quiet sanctury to retreat to. Due to its small size it also acts as a visual amenity to view through a window or patio doors.
