Inspired by a set of 1940s style French mesh work chairs, outsized, stainless steel daisies are the center of drama in the garden. The daisies burst out of the ground and tower above the garden, set at varying heights amongst rich planting and a deep green jungle of foliage. Tables and chairs with leafy parasols are within the planted areas. Beyond the café, there is a forest of lollipop Catalpa trees and daisies, a dreamy backdrop to complete the scene. Pathways link the seating areas.
