This garden is a celebration of the 190th anniversary of brewery JW Lees. The design draws inspiration from the brewing industry, interpreting materials, features and processes in a contemporary style and composition.
It is partially framed by tapered shaped glass screens, providing a foil for grasses, which are interplanted with deep red and amber perennials to represent the inviting flow and textures of a freshly-poured pint.
Integrated within the planting is a continuous ground-level circular rill, which encloses a calm space to sit and contemplate with familiar elements and materials of a traditional pub.
A sweeping curved feature bench is reminiscent of a serving bar, and the inviting pub atmosphere is added to with a log fire and brass detailing.
