 I chose this particular garden because I would never have guessed the physical context of it- Kent. This garden looks Mediterranean. as if belongs in a warm European country and not England. This may be because of the sandy coloured large rocks that makes the location seem dry. 

The use of light, fine pebbles resembles sand and the form of planting is low as if to suggest lower altitude that still show the subtle topographical changes. I especially find the colour palette fascinating, the textures of the plants are highlighted by contrasting against darker shades of the same colour. With a few orange-brown hues in the midst of it all. Overall it is extremely calming and just by looking at the photo I feel myself hearing soft bird tweets. I think this is an effective planting design for elderly homes.   

This truly reflects Pearson's interest in the study of wildflower communities in Spain and the Indian Himalayas.
