Experience the grandeur of European royalty and through this dramatic theatrical garden.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, European royalty developed dramatic theatrical gardens that included the elements of stage set design. These gardens weren’t just used for theatrical events, they provided a setting for important people to dress up in expensive clothes and powdered wigs and to be seen.  

This German or Austrian form will feature a Rococo / Baroque façade, large reflecting pool and two sculptural groups. This garden design has a direct association with classical music, linking it to the arts inspired theme of the Fantasy Collection. 

Work is already underway, with the concrete façade taking shape and trees planted now so they’ll be beautifully mature when the garden opens.
