WINDMILL GARDEN, WEDNESBURY
The project was to convert three koi ponds into family individual gardens.
The brief was three distinct gardens linked by a water theme; garden one was a dry riverbed with Jetty, garden two was a Japanese themed garden and three a Dutch garden that stands next to the working windmill. The dry riverbed connects and runs through all three gardens with the original pond bridges retained.
