Starting the 1:50


The 1:50 area has at least 40% planting so I've been thinking through the planting plan concepts which will be taken from the overall concept of Sea Defence. Defence, Movement, Light and Rhythm will dictate the planting. Julia asked us to think about a description that makes the area special:
Architectural plants create mystical shapes while feathery grasses and perennials sway in the wind and catch the light. Repetition creates a rhythm that links the spaces and draws the eye to create a sense of cohesion.
Walks through the planting make this space quiet and contemplative, movement and light relax the senses and strong architectural shapes introduce the surreal.
