Erskine Hospital Centenary Garden

 

Matt was commissioned to design a garden within the grounds to mark 'A Centenary of Care' 1916 to date. The garden was designed for quite reflection, and a location selected within an existing clearing in a woodland setting.  The       garden includes a circular mirror pond at its centre, a seating area backed by a woven hazel screen, looking through a Moon Gate. 

 

The planting pallet responds to the setting within a woodland clearing and includes evergreen ground cover, white flowering herbaceous planting with a predominance of ferns, contained within a beech hedge.  New tree planting includes a Hornbeam to replace the standing beech stump. 

 

The circular mirror pond has been constructed from galvanised mild steel edging formed to a 4-metre radius, set on a concrete base.  The mirror pond is raised slightly above the surrounding ground level and edged with reclaimed slate.
