Crushed granite, stone and corten steel establish the garden’s framework, with boulders, reclaimed vessels and a corten rain basin giving weight and permanence. The mineral surface helps conserve moisture, moderate the soil and suppress unwanted growth, while allowing selected plants to migrate freely through it.
