Miniature Gardens

Welcome to a new world!

Every big garden should be made of little landscapes.

Get past the obvious and it is the small details that reveal the world as a beautiful and amazing place.

In a world where whatever shouts loudest gets heard it is a pleasure to look past the obvious into the world of little landscapes.

As anyone looking at design, comments on distance, space, contrast and volume will probably feature in the conversation. I think it is about time someone championed the realm of depth. Depth to me is about the ever smaller detail that is intrinsic in the natural world and lets us wonder.

The more we look the more there is to see.
