The Living Landscape – A Nostalgic Experience

Designer : The Garden Design Co & Michael Wheat Group
Inspired by nature , designed for life . Designed and created by The Garden Design Co . with Michael Wheat Group , The Living Landscape show garden explores the expression of a controlled landscape merging into a naturalised and rugged environment . Developed with the whole family in mind , showcasing ideas to blend a multifunctional space including a garden cabin , jetties and boardwalks transitioning into a natural swim pond . A destination within a greater rural landscape . Tapping into nostalgic memories , this playful garden has been created to bring out the inner child . Exploring the great outdoors , hopping on rocks over shallow water and soaring over a lake on a branch tied to a tree with a rope . A tactile and calming environment for all the family to enjoy . Encouraging wildlife , the garden has beached regeneration zones , native trees and wildlife friendly planting around a purpose-built swim lane allowing people and nature to enjoy the garden harmoniously .
