Still Waters

Category Water Gardens
Award Gold Medal and highly coveted Tudor Rose Award for best water garden in show 2000.

The initial concept came from Mark Davies whose passion for sailing inspired this perfect sailors retreat which could be recreated anywhere.

With Pete's creative streak and excellence in construction they made the perfect partnership. The decking and bridge were made from reclaimed timber with a screen and wind break of dingy sails, inter planted with willow and alder.

The whole feel was soft and natural with the pool edging being retained with a living willow wattle fence. Native and cultivated plants were used showing they can grow in harmony together, complimenting each other and creating a perfect habitat for wildlife.

This could easily be adapted for your garden.
