This concept garden quite literally turns the world upside down. Designed to challenge, intrigue and amuse visitors, the garden features a simple urban terrace front garden and house façade, with a major twist: the ground is the sky and the footpath and lawn are overhead.
The grass lawn, lollipop potted trees, conifers and border hedging are all artificial and have been carefully placed to show-off the versatility of the materials used.
Visitors are invited to go through the front door to take fun “look at me I’m upside down” pictures and selfies.
