A variety of shaped planters were created using different types of timber. The planters were planted with herbs and visually stimulating varieties of plants. A small water feature was installed and various slate mulches, pebbles and gravels were used to give the area a natural feel. The slate mulches were planted out with alpines and bulbs. A water butt was installed to capture and recycle rainwater for use on the gardens.

The whole of the wall area was wired for climbing varieties of plants such as Clematis, Honeysuckle and Passion Flower. Mobiles and chimes were fixed to wires across the area.
