Transition
points in between the Garden Rooms are created in the form of numerous
child-friendly Garden Features such as stream crossings, doorways,
hammocks, gazebos and pergolas. Pathways manually constructed using
natural and recycled materials and meandering past the many bulging or
protruding roots link the different plant collections and transition
points.
WATER
FEATURES ~
Water features prominently whereby visitors could hear the sound of
running water at the waterfalls, lakes and streams wherever they are,
providing a cooling and soothing sensation. The use of waterways provides
an alternative habitat for a more diversified ecosystem and serves as an
irrigation network.
WOODEN
STRUCTURES ~
Pavilions, gazebos, gateways, bridges, benches, steps, sign posts and
decking are constructed out of a variety of Malaysian seasoned and mature
hardwoods such as chengal batu, meranti and teak salvaged and recycled for
use from demolished godowns and pre-war houses in Penang.
VIEWING
STATIONS ~
Benches built with more than generous proportions and deep seating are
strategically positioned throughout the garden where visitors can rest and
take in viewlines carefully crafted by managing plant growth habits to
provide framed views of the bay and garden (valley).
