WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR

1 The two sculptures by Penny Hardy (pennyhardysculpture.com) incorporate pieces of metal from machine parts in the Urals, where mining is widespread. The seated child facing the kissing couple reflects the theme of conserving the land for future generations.

2 Pinus mugo is used in two forms in the garden. In its natural form, it anchors the planting and sits well in the rocky landscape. Cloud-pruned specimens create eye-catching forms, one at each corner at the front of the garden, and one in the centre, leaning over the main pool.

3 Camomile (Matricaria chamomilla), an ancient medicinal plant and the national flower of Russia, softens the edge of the stone path on the ascent to the waterfall.

4 Geranium ‘Blue Cloud’ is a tall, long-flowering cultivar with pale-blue flowers and purple veining. It makes an excellent filler in borders.

5 Umbellifers are used throughout the garden, with Orlaya grandiflora providing a more showy form at the front and Ammi majus, planted in drifts with ferns towards the back, creating a soft, meadowy feel.
