The rose pergola with its verticals of spaced stone pillars provide the perfect compositional framing for the view towards the

distant Cottage Garden and adjacent Mediterranean Garden.
This provides the chance to consider sub–compositions within the overall picture plane.

Painting into the light adds dynamism as the elements of gardens are etched out, thereby creating a series of stages.
The play of light on the stone slabs add to the dance of transient sunlight, whilst the colourful planting of borders are in
their brilliance. There is a sense of completeness in the design and play with nature.
