Details

The garden offers a glimpse into the elegance and charm of Charleston’s historic courtyard gardens in South Carolina.

Traditional materials reference the city’s heritage, including wrought iron railings, handmade-style brickwork and crushed oyster shell, once widely used due to local abundance. A sequence of water features draws inspiration from Charleston’s waterfront fountains, with the pineapple motif symbolising welcome and hospitality.

Planting in soft shades of blue, pink and white features a selection of hardy exotic plants, completing the refined, southern atmosphere.

CED Stone supplied the worn bullnose step used in the garden.
