Foreign & Colonial
Tempest in a Teapot
Designer: Thomas Hoblyn
Contractor: 360 Landscapes
Sponsor: Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust
Through the commemoration of Rossini’s death in 1868, this garden celebrates the 140th anniversary of the Foreign and Colonial Investment Trust.
This basement garden is intended for an environmentally-concerned eccentric music lover to sit and view the ‘stage show’ that the garden provides visually and aurally.
The design demonstrates how, with a medium amount of maintenance, a basement garden can provide a good environment for shade-loving plants with the use of saved rainwater.
