Designers: Andrew Loudon & Beetham Nurseries
Sponsors: The Copper Mines & Lakes Cottages
This garden is designed to demonstrate what can be achieved with a little imagination to brighten up neglected spaces within a building such as a school, office block or hospital. The garden offers a means of escape from the florescent lights and re-circulated air within the building, to a fresh outdoor space without the hustle and bustle of work or study.

The garden contains an L shaped walkway under a green roof with lush herbaceous planting surrounding a lozenge shape slate water feature that provides a visual amenity to lift the spirits of the visitors. The back wall is constructed from sandstone with large water washed river stones protruding slightly to give a tactile element to the journey between the two spaces that the corridor links.

The Philosophical Garden

Designer: Andrew Loudon
Sponsor: SWS UK Ltd
Contractor: Andrew Loudon Traditional & Decorative Stonework

"Andrew Loudon is a dry stone walling master craftsman. The centre of the garden is a stone sphere, sitting opposite a negative image of itself, recessed into a slate stone wall. A curved path winds up to a small seat, positioned on a pebble mosaic. All this is surrounded by dense herbaceous planting."

With springtime woodland planting, this garden is designed to be a quiet sanctury to retreat to. Due to its small size it also acts as a visual amenity to view through a window or patio doors and features one of our lakeland slate stone balls.

We were awarded a Silver Gilt Medal for this garden.

The garden features sandstone boundary walls containing panels of geometric stonework. Within these boundaries a series of stone geometric sculptures are partially shrouded by dense herbaceous planting. The path of York stone flags meanders through the planting to a simple oak bench.

The garden has been inspired by the work of Isamu Noguchi and his use of natural materials and geometric forms and is designed to illustrate how traditional materials, plants and techniques can be used to create a contemporary garden that maintains a traditional feel.
