APL A Place to Meet Again garden Hampton Court Garden Festival 2021
The creative design by Mike Long is an exemplar of responsible and resourceful design; blending old with new, with no compromise on style. The design uses Asian Blue Tumbled Limestone Setts for the water feature, rill and sunken seating area, with Brazilian Black Slate paving and Styleclad porcelain cladding to finish the contemporary look. Scaffold boards and poles are used for the bar, decking and pergola. Other salvaged materials include a rainwater harvester, pipework and taps, pallet timber and reinforced steel joists, showing how the varied textures of weathered and worn materials can inject character to a space.
