In October 2023 we were delighted to accept an invitation from the National Trust to design,build and install the wonderful water feature at the heart of their magnificent new prestigious Mediterranean garden designed by Andy Sturgeon
2016 marked the 300th anniversary of Beningbrough Hall and in celebration of this historic milestone Andy Sturgeon was set the task of creating a long-term plan to refresh, improve, and in some areas re-invent the eight-acre garden.
Through the combined talents of Andy and Sam Shipman’s dedicated garden team at Beningbrough, the creation of a new long-term design vision has ensured a garden that will continue to delight and inspire visitors, now and for many years to come.
The new Mediterranean Garden has been designed and future-proofed for a changing climate. Plants and shrubs have been selected from Mediterranean climates from around the world due to their versatility and ability to tolerate extremes in temperature and rainfall, providing the opportunity to experiment with planting. Extensive drainage has been incorporated into the garden design to ensure that any fluctuations in rainfall can be managed going forward.
Here are a series of photographs showing how this water feature was fabricated and then built and installed on site
Planting continues apace and this wonderful new garden will be open to the Public in August 2024
