Allee

Planted in April 1997, this walkway connects the Lion's Sensory Garden with the Chinese Scholars Garden. The Allee is planted with 120 European hornbeams which, on reaching a height of six feet, will begin to arch and meet, creating a shaded path. This will create a different perspective for the individual walking between gardens. Instead of merely walking across afield, the enclosed area creates a different perception of space and a sense of anticipation.
