Gabions

Westonbirt Arboretum, Tetbury, UK

'Screen 4', by PRP Landscape -- one of the gardens at the Westonbirt International Festival of Gardens, 2003
-- which "aims to show the flexibility of garden design, its ever-changing spaces and modular nature essential to today's requirements of flexibility in modern living".

Gabions -- industrial steel cages -- are used to provide enclosure to the garden, forming a flexible framework.
Each is filled with a variety of materials, including flint and logs -- their different textures providing "tapestry-like" walls.
