This garden aims to portray the social pleasures and medicinal benefits associated with herbal tea. This organic, fun garden incorporates an East meets West style to compliment both cultures.
Rough grass and dandelions create a path that leads into the garden and exotic fruit trees grown in tea chests are punctuated by the planting of colourful herbs. Herbs featured include lemon balm, peppermint, fennel and ginger, and the space also features a chamomile lawn. Rosa rugosa secludes the garden and also provides fruit for rosehip tea, while citrus trees and other fragrant flowers, herbs and fruit that are present can all be infused in hot water to make a tea.
