Influenced by Plymouth Gin, the bold shapes and simplicity of this planting and materials in this garden complement the art deco style of Plymouth Gin’s new bottle. Plym & Tonic is a crossroads within the larger landscape, offering a sensory environment to enhance your journey, recharge your batteries and contemplate while savouring the flavour of Plymouth Gin. On entering the garden, you are surrounded by relaxing tonic screens with zesty lemons floating above you. The paving has a crisp finish and the symmetry allows you to drift and take in the moment. Delighted with the whole gin and tonic experience, your options open and the four vistas between the bubbling screens offer three new journeys - or the return voyage for another sneaky cocktail! On leaving, your senses are awoken once more with scents of juniper and mint. The vibrancy of the perennials illuminates your onward journey, and you cannot resist glancing back once more to savour Plym & Tonic. Enjoy…!
