The David Harber and Savills Garden
Designed by Nic Howard
The garden has been designed to provoke reflection on humankind's interaction with their environment over time and to take the visitor on a theatrical journey of transformation.
This garden is defined in layers stretching through time with planting and sculptures separating to reflect each evolving period. In the beginning, the planting and art is freeform and naturalistic and then as humankind evolves the subsequent layers become more formal and controlled.
The pivotal 鈥榳ormhole鈥� (a theoretical space-time passage) view through the garden ends with a sculpture representing a nucleus of energy - "The First Moment to the Now".
The lusher more cultivated areas of planting include Paeonia, Lupinus, Geum, Hosta and Geranium. There is no specific colour scheme within the garden as the planting aims to reinforce the different layers/periods.

David Harber鈥檚 key aim is to work with and embellish nature, by creating sculptures and art that transform a space and prompt a process of reflection and contemplation.
