At its heart sits a striking multi-stem river birch, it's peeling bark colour links to the bronze sculptures by [sculptor jewellers Yunus & Eliza](https://yunus-eliza.co.uk/) that catch and hold rainwater, adding detail and texture. A shallow channel divides the design into wet and dry zones, shaping how water moves and how the planting responds. Moisture-loving plants fill the basin, while tougher, drought-tolerant species line the banks. The garden demonstrates how practical water management can double as high design, creating a space that feels immersive, resilient, and finely crafted.
