Towards the late 18th century, secret gardens and tea gardens were the perfect destination to socialise, enjoy nature and drink tea. The Wedgwood Garden is a modern interpretation of these leisurely spaces where there is a true sense of British fun and luxury.
It is designed specifically as a garden for a woman, with an ephemeral pavilion that appears to dance over a stream, which meanders through harmonious planting and naturalistic rocks and boulders. The space can be entered via openings in the planting at the garden’s edges and the sensory experience of smooth stone underfoot is immediately apparent.
An almost undetectable path leads the visitor towards the bronze pavilion. On entering, a sunken area leads to stepping stones across a pond where a bench has been placed, from which the whole garden can be viewed and enjoyed.
