The Garden

One way to understand Wildside is to consider the beginnings and the steps to sculpt the site:

Start with a three acre flat field

  • Rent a digger and dumper
  • Move 110,000 tonnes of soil
  • Add plants and water
2001 – A flat field
2010 – Sculpting well advanced
2018 – Canyons in progress

The Layout

The garden has three distinct areas:

  • The canyons: a 25 foot mountain overlooking an area for desert plants. Intended to become…
  • The courtyard: raised beds surrounded by a 90m arbour covered with wisteria
  • The lower garden: narrow paths around raised mounds and linked water areas
