It illustrates a beautiful, sustainable woodland clearing in a city garden and showcases a host of sustainable features, including bio-diverse large trees, an air-purifying wetland area, a green wall and permeable surfaces. A key feature of the garden is a central pool of water that plays host to a sculptural installation, inspired by the surrounding woodland setting. From a shadow of 'leaves' that flutter on the surface of the water, soars a 3.5 metre shard that reaches high into the trees. Designed and created by David Harber, the sculptures are designed to play with light and create beautiful dappled patterns across the water.
