The Mediterranean Garden formerly known as Flat Garden 1 changed beyond all recognition during the refurbishment of the late 1990's. The lawn and paved areas were removed, informal borders were created using silver leaved and drought resistant plants, the borders were dressed with gravel mulch. The path areas were re-aligned and constructed with golden quartz bonded gravel, this sandy finish was the source of conversation in its early days. This garden is accessible to the less able bodied and seating is available.
