SILVER SHOW GARDENS

A wellness garden, 'Composition' is a place to explore one’s inner consciousness.

'Composition'

Designed by Christian Jenkins

Transporting visitors to a place of serenity, the garden’s grand entrance features a forest of traditional Japanese trees and shrubs that bathe the senses as two bodies of water bring calmness. A natural stone cobble pathway leads visitors through the garden.

A negative space of raked river sand and charcoal pebbles creates a sense of emptiness that is critical for one’s mind. The focal point of the garden is a large waterfall with a traditional Japanese rice paper wall as a backdrop. The outdoor room creates a place for contemplation and a chance to immerse oneself in nature. A small decking area nestled into the corner of the front lagoon creates an idyllic spot to just ‘be’.
