Tranquillity is the theme of the display garden with a tall water fountain, contemporary pergola and shaded seating area under a canopy of Clematis.

Over 200 plants of 30 different varieties feature in the garden.

The garden was designed and built by Notcutts’ head of visual merchandising, Marco de Jongh, plant buyer, Stuart Andrews and garden project manager, Luke Rawson. The garden took just over a week to complete.
