To build a waterfall, Tumber brought in massive boulders to create a series of large cascades that look as though they were carved out by nature. The rushing sound of water adds a sensory experience – a key element of his designs. Elsewhere, bordering the path that descends into the lower garden, is a white pine. “The wind moving through the soft needles makes a whispering sound,” he says.

6 Scent
The hybrid ‘David Austin' rose, which has a classic fragrance, is a favourite of the homeowner's. Scent is another way to trigger sensory experiences. For example, “Star Gazer“ lilies by a front entrance give people a pleasant aromatic experience upon arriving,” says Tumber.
