This modern progression of the style is portrayed in The M&G Garden which will include repeated patterns carved into stone to echo the wallpaper prints of John Ruskin and William Morris.  The considered choice of materials feature a 30 metre long copper sculpture which ploughs through the garden like a wave of energy and a floating oak bench which links the different spaces together.

The woodland edge planting includes numerous cow parsleys, dusky iris and cottage garden cranesbill.
