  About this garden

 The story 
-----------

 Inspired by the home, studio and paintings of Georgia O’Keefe, this garden is designed to provide a space to imagine, make and exhibit. Imagined as a home art studio, either as a garden room or a converted room in a house, the design focuses on creating views to paint and draw. A soft palette of natural materials provide a backdrop for textural, grey-green planting with contrasting monochrome blooms. Ethics are important in this garden, which utilises natural materials inside and out, including timber and clay as well as natural fibres such as wool and linen.
