Visitors will encounter an eye-shaped border with a reflective corten steel water 'pupil' and graduated bamboo posts give verticality to the design. The planting follows a clear colour journey, with advancing reds and oranges at the front, transitioning through fresh greens into smoky blues and purples at the back. The garden also reflects a personal belief that gardeners should feel free to choose plants simply because they find them beautiful.
