The
path around its centre is constructed of paving bricks, while the other paths
are laid with various materials, such as sand, cobblestones, bark mulch and wood-block
paving. The borders are made up of stones. In each of the four corners there is a seating area lying at a lower level, sheltered from view by climbers
| growing over pergolas and berry bushes. Grassy banks invite the visitors to take a rest in these niches. The central bed is planted with fragrant perennials and herbs. In the other beds grow aromatic and medicinal herbs, as well as blooming perennials in late summer. The borders of the beds towards the seating areas are lined with currant, gooseberry, blueberry and raspberry bushes. The pergolas are overgrown with vines and hop. |
