Inspired by the Scandinavian idea of 'lagom', the garden provides a space full of balance, where one can relax, entertain and have all the comforts of a contemporary garden whilst keeping nature in mind. It brings together modern design and nature, allowing wildlife to thrive in harmony with people in a functional garden for everyone to enjoy.
