  About this garden

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

 Lush planting surrounded by the sound of cascading waterfalls evokes a tropical paradise in this ambitious feature garden. A towering 25m dome creates a sense of awe and wonder with bridges over shimmering pools of water providing views of the surrounding tall tropical trees and striking houseplants. A fruit market and bar invites visitors to enjoy the sense of tranquillity and calm while sipping a cocktail and appreciating the colours and forms of the planting, simultaneously invigorating and serene.
