The garden shows how herbs can be used in an imaginative and ornamental way, providing a relaxing, yet practical space. A sunken ‘bowl’ features at the entrance of the garden, steadily rising to above ground level towards the back of the garden. A mosaic runs through the design to mimic water, ending at the seating area where the mosaics form a reflective pool. The planting forms an edible landscape, and is attractive to wildlife.
