IOTA’s Venice tall round planters
were placed throughout Epicurious Garden to soften the hard landscaped areas. They give height and depth to the overall design which enhances the terrace effect given by the stairs and the natural slope the garden is on. The planters also help visitors stay on the garden path.
With its rounded shape and Italian polished plaster look, the round planters add a soft touch between the public seating areas and the overall landscape design.
Epicurious Garden is a must-visit destination at South Bank for foodies, gardening enthusiasts and people who want to unwind. It is an ornamental and productive garden in the heart of the South Bank Parklands. It is home to an exquisite array of plants ranging from exotic species like black sapote to age-old favourites herbs such as thyme. Fresh produce are harvested regularly and free samples are available for tasting from the garden’s harvest cart. The cart operates from 7am-2pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and is on a “first-in, best-dressed basis”.
