Warren had a challenge when start to harness this space , as it was a small domain hemmed in bystone wallson three sides and a pool on the other . The quad was also off - center to the pool . To fixate this , Warren create a circular bosquet of Sugar Tyme ® wild apple trees that matched up with the heart of the kitty . This vision argument then became the center of the garden .
Two enceinte island layer were installed to the rightfulness of the tree . They are determine irregularly with angles and curve , which allow for unique linear perspective from which to view the different planting combinations and allows for straight and curved walking itinerary between the layer . To the left of the crabapple is a long bottom with angulate margin that form a zigzag pattern . This bed is filled with coloured plant life with wow - suitable foliage and is one of the centerpieces of the garden . Walking past this bed , you ’ll enter a circular lawn place that continues the theme of solid geometric shape . The lawn distance is border by a number of garden beds with curved borders . In the back left nook sits a belittled seating area in some nuance where you’re able to look out onto the garden while listening to the gurgle of a nearby jet . On the other side of the lawn is a circular levy bed that acts as a moonshine garden , with many plant with white or variegated foliation .
