This garden design uses naturalistic planting combined with
locally sourced hard landscaping materials to create a
biodiverse public garden in Cambridge
The biodiverse planting consists of low maintenance
perennials, native trees and shrub and spring flowering
bulbs, all appropriate to this extremely popular public
garden in Cambridge.
Self binding gravel is used to create an expansive outdoor
seating area adjacent to a oak railway sleeper border
containing lush naturalistic planting.
A low gabion wall provides habitat for bees, whilst
providing additional seating for user of the space.
Decorative Bee posts provide interest whilst providing
further habitat for solitary bees.
This public garden harmonies with the surrounding Milton
Country Park, offering a immersive quality, giving the public
the relaxing garden they were looking for.
A focal point to the garden design is a covered seating area
providing step free access for disabled users. Rainwater is
channel off the roof and its funnelled into a SUDS planter
and rain garden.
