The Water Garden

The brief was to take a disused concrete farmyard and create a design rich in habitat for wildlife, and a place for the client to garden and relax in. The concrete was crushed and reused on site to create a low nutrient garden, with further areas added, including a woodland border and a gravel garden. All materials on site were repurposed, so nothing went to landfill.

The garden’s composition shifts with the cycling seasons, from the first snowdrops of early spring to the frosted seedheads of winter.
