Deep marginal shelves were generouslyplanted amongst 84 tonnes of Caledonian glacial boulders,POND whilst grass paths lead around the feature to open a varietyof vistas, all nestled seamlessly along the edge of anestablished mixed native woodland.Lit discretely at night, gentle bubblers not only oxygenatethe water but provide a sense of movement and a relaxingsound. With planting detail by in-house designer SophieGreen, the project was completed in May 2022.
