About the Garden
Puzzle enthusiast and garden designer Clive Scott has designed this garden as a chill-out zone to inspire the sitter to complete a crossword or sudoku puzzle. The main layout takes the form of a noughts and crosses grid with raised beds housing the crosses and floor-level circular stepping stones as noughts.
Nearly all (95%) of the hard-scape materials are recycled, which keeps construction costs low and inspires the public to think of easy-build solutions that they can adopt.
A large raised bed to the rear adds height. The planting is a mixture of strong shrubs for structure with naturalistic planting of grasses and perennials in a blue-lilac-purple colour theme with a touch of white.
