The Winton Beauty of Mathematics Garden

Flowing through the centre of the garden is a beautiful copper band symbolising germination and growth of a seedling. The band emerges at one end of the plot, rising in height to become first a bench, then a stair banister and finally a planter that sweeps around the top of the belvedere. The belvedere is pitched at 3.5m (11 1/2ft) above the garden and overflows with trailing plants. This planter represents leaf emergence and is richly planted with verdant trailing species. Etched into the copper band is a series of plant growth algorithms and equations. 

Visitors will experience a fresh dynamic garden bursting with plants of the Southern Hemisphere and Mediterranean, whose delicate leaves and wiry forms epitomise nature’s mathematical patterns. Of particular significance are species such as Aloe polyphylla (which is a perfect Fibonnacci spiral), Aeonium tabuliforme and pines and plants from the Asteraceae family. Purple and violet flowered perennials feature significantly and are complemented with planting in tones of chartreuse, silver and white. Foliage tones are significant too with copper, pale-blue and silver repeating through the garden. Key plants include: Banksia integrifolia, Lotus berthelotii and Corokia cotoneaster.
