A magnificent Gunnera is a focal point at the wooden bridge across the pond. The pond was reshaped and access improved. Interest and colour was added with two new planted areas and native trees.
A curved path is designed to link mown access paths leading to a semi-circular seating area. Water fed from a nearby stream flows through the pond which is home to a variety of wildlife, ranging from ducks and moorhens, to frogs, newts and the very occasional Kingfisher.
“The lush growth of wildflowers typical on clay soil was allowed to grow in unmown swathes. The bridge was a great addition both visually and practically making a big difference to how the garden could be used by linking the two sides.”
