Elizabeth Stoner: Moongate


View the garden

Moongate

Design inspiration

Silver Gilt Flora medal "The inspiration for my design came from my fascination with the strong images of moongates used in classical Chinese gardens, which I discovered when visiting my daughter there last year.

"The garden is designed to be viewed as a small walled courtyard, set within a much larger garden, providing a tranquil area for private reflection and relaxing. Planted in blues, mauves and greys, it aims to create a feeling of serenity, coolness and harmony that is both welcoming and restful."
