A key component within this garden is water. Watercourses and canals formed an integral part of Etruria and were fundamental to the functionality of production and industry.

A channel of water traverses the space at ground-level, with an elevated water chute along one series of arches. Revealed beneath a structural glazed floor panel, a secret sunken level appears below the garden.

Contained within this subterranean space are artefacts that reference the collection of antiquities, which in turn inspired some of Wedgwood’s original and ground-breaking designs.

A garden where modern materials encounter classical motifs and elements of repetition and minimalism unite, the design details reflect the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of the Wedgwood founder as the Wedgwood story continues.

The garden will feature a mass planting of Ferula communisin dry areas and Valeriana pyrenaicamixed with many roses elsewhere.

Feature trees include tall Taxodium distichum.
