Nestling under the mature trees we discovered this gem designed by Ishihara Kazuyuki, a regular gold medal winner in the Artisan Garden category (plot sizes 5 x 4m or 7 x 5m) at the Chelsea Flower Show.
This year he kept his gold medal record and deservedly so with his inspiration the Kyoto imperial garden which has no defensive moat or wall as it was inconceivable that it should ever be under threat.

and the sides
Known for his trademark use of moss seen here in a detail on the sides
and along the front.
The scale is deceptive, giving an impression of generous and mature landscape within such a tiny space
