Woodland Fall
Designer : Antony Lionel Company : TAW Landscapes Sponsors or Supporting Companies : Kebur , Reindeer Moss Art , Plants for Design
This garden is at the back of a relatively modern town house , overlooked from three sides . Our clients are a professional couple in their thirties , who enjoy entertaining friends and family at the weekends , and wanted a space that would allow this as well as provide them with a peace at home away from the stresses of their working lives . The garden includes elevation from silver birch , beech and cherry trees , which creates privacy as well as a woodland feel . The intention was for our clients to feel they were in a secluded space , somewhere they could eat , drink and feel tranquil . The moss wall with it ’ s constantly dripping curtain of water represents a window looking out onto rolling hills , usually shrouded in iconic British drizzle ! The water in the design represents the ‘ affair ’ of two lovers beginning their journey as it travels across the table , cascading down the cladding and along the rill to an unavoidable ‘ fork in the road ’. The fire represents the passion and warmth that pulls them back together , finishing their journey as it winds its way through the ferns and bluebells to a tranquil rock pool adorned with Calla lilies .
