Details

Designed by Aiden Cifelli, the Caledonian Coastal Garden is a contemporary space that has been inspired by the Scottish coastline. Incorporating man made designed elements with natural, the garden shows how these two interact, with fragmented paving that allows the planting to spill out onto the hardened edges and soften them. The planting reflects that of a maritime forest edge and represent that vegetation can thrive even in challenging conditions and against more man-made elements.

The path leads to a pebble beach and a seawater pool, featuring CED Stone boulders to mimic the ruggedness of an exposed, natural shoreline. There are a couple of different types of feature stone boulders in this garden, such as Gabbro Boulders, Caledonian Boulders and Weathered Limestone Rockery, to achieve different textures.
