    We were at Bloom last weekend and noticed some nice willow ( I think) fence panels in the walled garden, They were dividing up plots along by the walls. I meant to write down the name of the guy that made them but forgot. Did anybody else see them ? know how to get in contact with him? Thanks for any help.

    THE SECLUDED WATER GARDEN
    The garden is a place to relax in and to feel secluded from, among the surroundings of nature. As one enters the garden from the stepping stones path which cross the water leading you to a relaxing area which comprises of a deck with a hammock and a partly covered roof which allows the light to filter through. Here one can enjoy the surrounding planting which is very abundant. The pond reflects the surrounding landscape and the waterfall adds movement and sound in a relaxing therapeutic way.
    The planting is mainly green lush plants with bold shaped leaves of greens with minimal flowering.They are contrasted by the backdrop of multi stem betula utilis that are surrounded by a fusion of Tree and ground ferns, Hosta’s euphorbia’s, astilbe, agapanthus and bergenia’s. The waterfall is constructed with tufa rock for a natural affect. Willow fencing is used as a boundary for its natural appearance and contrasting colour to the planting.

    Thanks for that Luckat, but it was not that guy. The panels were actually in the walled kitchen garden. Any idea who maintains that area? Cheers.
