Oregon - The Productive Garden
==============================

 Large Show Garden

Rather than recreating Oregon's Willamette Valley literally, the garden captures the elements that define it - fertile soils, flowing water, fruit cultivation and the essential role of pollination.

Designed to be viewed from the surrounding path, visitors will see a small group of standard fruit trees arranged in gentle curves, reflecting natural pollination routes rather than rigid agricultural rows. Beneath the trees, lavender, herbs and wildflowers create a soft understorey that supports pollinators and biodiversity, while adding seasonal colour and movement.

A narrow, naturalistic water line runs diagonally through the garden, referencing the river systems that shape the valley's productive landscapes. Woven natural boundaries frame the orchard and create a sense of quiet enclosure. Plant led and earth shaped, the garden celebrates the seasonal rhythm, productivity and ecological richness that orchards bring to contemporary garden design.
